And, And, And…

I know the tender aching
of broken skin
from a heart held
tightly within
and the uncomfortable
fit of regret
the two of us
have already met
and the way darkness
holds the night
a total surround
pulling you tight
and heard the sting
of needing more
too much ocean
within those shores
and I am the drops
of a velvet storm
confused in time
between night and mourn
and I still wait in
the space between the rain
and here I remain
and I remain
and
I remain

Nice picture, that -- sort-of carried me away....

I think I've bumped into you there...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

in the space between the rain . . .

I like that line a lot
(and probably should have left it alone)

Sometimes those ands in space seem to go on forever. Nicely written.
