Clarify Tell me who you are, In a way a feeling cannot speak , My heart cannot find a way to read anymore Tell what you believe beyond the words that words dream in my head I am so saddened by emptiness Clarify my assumptions , Of thine eyes that speak I cannot read what I do not reach, And I do not know what to preach except to say What do you see? Love me or let go Longing for tenderness, but not knowing if you hold Do you hold gently? Do you? Do you breath in familiarity? Can you hold even to just make another smile. or listen to just heal a pain? for just a little while when nothing is gained? Do you only want to be there for someone else? Or only to be held ? I would hold if someone would catch me, But I would still hold for no reprise… Do you speak in expectations, or do you hide your meanings behind? Who are you and what do you will? What wantings are behind the feel? I am so tired tonight, so lonely, I cannot fight what I do not know, and I do not trust what I feel anymore I admit I am not whole I admit the loneliness that makes me unsure I hide my want to love inside and smolder the desire It is not for sake of selfish act It is the fear of misguided faith I cannot read what I do not know I do not trust what I have seen My heart has grown accustomed to being alone and lonely Lonely has become its own custom, a feeling that sits under skin, A Constant tolerated pain that I have acquired within It has become the fear I live with Who will dry my tears when I allow myself the time to cry? Do you know what love is? Do you know what it feels like to share ? I am caught My empty arms will not feel the child, so I assume I will never mother its soul to my chest I am settling for the emptiness and saddened by my regress, My regrets. Did I loose my love? Or did I not allow it the chance? For I must love before love can be given back again. -Barbara M. Brewer- |
