i hear your sadness
screaming through the silence…
big sky –
little moon –
somewhere on the other side of my world,
you –
behind the clouds…
what absence do you run from –
what darkness terror
keeps you locked away?
safe inside your guarded walls
i cannot reach you…
what feeling worse than lonely –
what pain more real than
breaking heart,
outstretched hand – empty –
unanswered prayer…
broken still –
emotion spilled into a void –
longing cuts like shards of glass –
the soul…
you are my pain,
and passion,
self-contained!
standing too close to the edge
