Words sometimes fail
this lacking tongue of mine.
I worry you won’t understand
that I feel.

Darkness falls and it’s hard to
find my way
around the obstacles,
over the lump of what used to be
laying there trying to trip me up.

I had a dream
you were there, in the dark,
in a corner you had claimed
for yourself.

I wondered why you wouldn’t
give me your hand
making it less harsh.
Not understanding that you’re waiting
for your own.

In my world dark is reality
of all that never was.
A life devoid of good decisions,
happy endings and true understanding
of why I can’t seem to be what you need.

What my mouth can’t word,
my eyes seep in volumes.
and I worry that you can’t see that
in the dark.
