Almost broke....
Words seemed too close.
The soul in the voice felt like it was mine. I have to remember it is not.
I felt fingertips running across my skin like they were trying to find a point on a map.
But my heart continues to be exposed.
It has been there… feeling.
And my ears have be here. ....listening.
This thing within me knows you’re there.
I’m still here, like always.
But where are you?
The sadness in me says I’m crazy.
I make this up to feel better .
But my soul does not believe that.
You need it, like I need it.
Tell me it’s true.
Show me it’s true.
I can’t keep screaming into the void.
Talking in rooms with mirrors and hoping someone is on the other side.
There are some days I make it to the very last minute, and it’s like the world stops just then, to show me your face.
As if I’d forget it.
Tears well in my eyes like they did the day you left.
My heart rises into my throat like it’s trying to escape and find it’s way into a body you will love.
Either help me escape you or tell me I’m not insane.
I feel like you’re watching an animal in its cage knowing it needs you, but leaving it there without your voice or any consolation.
I teeter on the edge of feeling I’m completely broken and trusting my soul knows…
Like it always knew.
Like it knew the day I met you.
I can replay days that happened in 2010 like they happened today.
But I can’t remember what I did a month ago, or what I did last Monday, and I can’t remember what day it is today… But I can remember what the world looked like with you in it.
