touch you

 
 
 

agonizing and twisted

fate playing

staying

holding my hand

back

desperately seeking the place that

leaves you so unmoved

while i stand in the depths of

silence

heart racing

waiting for you to

see right through me

how much longer farther will

i go

it go

before there is no turning back

caged in an empty field

have i found the place where

to step forward is to fall

to step back is to break

solutions resolutions

and still i simply want to

touch you

i’m listening

when you can’t smell
the morning coffee
or hear the birds
singing in the trees
when a child’s laughter brings
only a ghost of a smile
when puppy breathe
brings no joy
when you can’t smell
new cut grass
when the laughter of friends
makes you lonely
when the thought of tomorrow
brings tears to your eyes
when you can’t find answers
to any of your prayers
maybe it’s time to just stop
 
and listen
