Vision

Silent

not so much as a whisper 

passing your lips

You simply stood 

watching me

from the shadowed hall

You held my dog

my best friend 

of seventeen years

She hated anyone

who came near me

as they took me from her

But she seemed to know you

to love you

to be content in your arms

Your shadow glowed

a beacon bringing light

into a darkened room

The Gypsy opened the door

and brought you here

my heart is raw at the thought

My eyes are blurry

tear filled visions

are guiding me down this path

Is this supposed 

to be an ending

a place to say goodbye?

Need

Looking for my voice again.....

I need you to want me

to feel the heat of you against my skin.

I need those moments where in anticipation

I can hardly breathe.

I need the seconds, I need the hours,

I need the days where I need nothing but you.

I need to feel the distance

of only air between us.

I need to see that sparkle

that tiny blue twinkle in your eye.

I need that sweet simple smile

that you only ever had for me.

I need the walls that are growing up around me

to crumble as you tear them down.

  I need anger and fear to become

words that I no longer know.

I need to slice through the scars

that are suffocating my heart.

I need to crawl and claw my way back

to the place from which I’ve run.

I need to find peace, I need to find comfort,

I need to find safety and warmth.

I need to remember you and

you need to remember me.
