DRAWSTRINGS
8 January 2013

I hear your words in the branches
that knock on my roof
in the night
while the wind won’t let you go.

I feel your arms
trying to hold back
as your eyes pierce mine,
just out of reach.

I know your presence
in every sense of the word
as we turn away from each other
with slow, heavy steps
our parting
as discordant
as the rumbling dirge
in our hearts.

I can truly feel the pushing forward and pulling back effect going on, the suspense
of the branch as to the leaves' departure
I enjoyed very much

Thank you for reading, enjoying and commenting, EmmaRose. However, this was about me and a man leaving each other - and the branches and leaves were just the location of the thoughts and where I "heard" his words.
