I want to
ask how you are
and
know what you’ve felt
To see you smile,
Hear your words
would wake my soul,
and dissolve all I’ve been into
some profound liquid mess
I’m dead here,
Life is only air
Breathe in -  breathe out
Assert once more and
Twinkle out of time
Naturally -
another stunning performance.
Yet,
my foundation is crumbling,
this isn’t what I thought
Internally,
I bleed for you
Searing pain shoots through my veins
and I tumble
down,
down
down so deep – I no longer feel me
Tears that weren’t,
tears that couldn’t be,
finally formulate and linger steadily …

I’m forced to grip the edge of the past








Yesterday,
I realized that if
the world would end today
I’d spend my last precious moments
wishing I had you.
Moving me with a sound.
Opening me within a gesture.
Drawing me down and in,
Showing me where it all began,
Eleven.



And wondering...
Where the hell have I been?
Sleeping, lost, and numb.
So glad that I have found you.
I am wide awake and heading home.
