How?
by JJ JohnsonHow can I read your words of desire when I know they are not for me?
How can I see them when the muse who inspires you absorbs your moonlight?
I cannot
I cannot
How can I write the words in my heart into words that will touch your soul?
How can I tell you of my desire to be the one you inspire to write love poetry?
I cannot
I cannot
How can I see in the dark when storm clouds cover the moon after midnight?
How can I breathe when tornados rage while sucking the wind out of me?
I cannot
I cannot
How can I sleep when the thunder I hear is the banging of your bed without me?
How can I wake when the dawn will not break before the heart that is falling apart?
I cannot
I cannot 10/24/2012 Posted on 10/27/2012

Time heals they say but it really doesn't. It just puts a bandaid over the piece of heart that is missing and from time to time it slips slightly or even falls off. |
