How to be when not alone
How to be when not alone
Going through the motions, from day to day,
Making words hot like melting clay.
Being like the night with no stars to see,
While your mind is empty, your thoughts have nothing to see.
You seek the piece that makes you feel,
Something that must be real.
Only thing that seems present is too far to feel,
Only thing that you feel you don’t want to be real.
You look in the mirror,
Only thing left to fear.
The one thing that is burning you to the core,
Is the only thing that you’re yearning for.
That is for when you reach to embrace something only one can see,
That your heart and eyes agree.
There is your person in your corner arms open for your embrace,
Where you are face to face.
With just a tender touch,
That you both missed so much.
You found each other when you needed it, felt so right,
Now you both don’t have to fight.
About this poem
