softly.

In so many tears

not enough words to describe

the distance I’ve found in our hearts

no eye to eye

to give me the chance to say i love you and burn it into your soul

an escape plan I left back at home, years ago

I miss the silence of the pitter patter inside

the gold traces linger

sinister mind

creatures above us, still waiting to find

a willingness lets go, a new baby’s cry

failing to see the truth that you hide

open wounded I crawl inside your arms

never let go, feeling cold, feeling numb

what i wouldn’t give to feel the sensation all over again

tea stained lips beg to differ and the night closes in

grab a pillow, squeeze it tight and let the seeking begin.
