Between the Lines

the silence


like the sunrise,
he is there to greet me
bringing wisps of freshness
to the otherwise silence
that goes in one ear
and out the other

a touch of tenderness
from a distant shore of thought
a reflection of time
in hopes of betterment
and I stray there
missing the day
that turns into tomorrow

time seems stolen
as the caring drains
when I close my eyes
and see those dark paths ahead
wishing for a hand to rest in mine
and share the walk

I don't believe in clichés anymore,
"time heals all things"
and " you have to love yourself first
before being able to love another"
nor the most repeated of all
"you can only count on yourself"
(there are no white knights)

I hear that "codependency" word so often
I can breathe its existence, but
letting someone hit bottom
can most times
take you down with them...
and there are choices
and more choices
with time lingering,
then slipping away


my heart hungers for a taste of more
not out of neediness
(as some would like to suspect)
never wanting the feel of love
to be forgotten
it seeks inspiration from out,
mutes its design of want accordingly
trying to make its worth,
living

it is the Autumn of my life,
more than half over
living the soaps without the touch
rewinding old movies
like an aphrodisiac to my sensibilities
feeding me what has been lost
from abandonment

the past can never change
the present...a crushing blow
the future...filled
with meaningless clichés
