struggling
to keep you here
contained, restrained.

stuck in time,
i linger over your touch
- frozen by memory.

i never understand
the cold distance
between knowing and
truly having.

a million words
leave my lips
touch your face
but not your heart.

it seems i am
doomed to never
make headway
where you are concerned

and love,
i only dream of becoming
the song you sing

or the next best thing
