The Visit (A Gothic Love Story) Poem by Sonya Florentino

Let me feel your love before it's too late
Let me feel your touch before day breaks
Let me feel your warmth before the sun comes down
Tomorrow I'll be gone

Come and kiss my cheek before it turns cold
Come and hold my hand before it turns to stone
Come and touch my heart before I waste away
They lock the gates at eight - save me from my fate!

Let me know how your own heart aches
Let me know you're not so far away
Promise me I'll see another day
Let me know you are on your way

Let me feel the earth around me break
Let me feel my lifeless heart shake
Let me know my life was not for waste
That love resuscitates, yes, love resuscitates!

Let me feel my heart awake
Make me fall in love once more
Let me feel the earth quake
As it once did before

Let me see the sun rise
Let me feel the grass grow
Let me hear the wind breathe
Let me kiss tomorrow

Surely my love for you was no mistake
Prove to me with love it never is too late
And though we lost each other along the way
Love remains, yes, love remains!

Let me feel your love before darkness falls
Let me know love like I've never known before
Show me how love can become the dawn
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to love
Bring me back my heart... once more
