The distance between us

Two hearts in two separate rooms
Distance - seen and unseen
Silence beneath the mindless chatter
Coldness underneath the skin
Mechanical motion
Perpetually there
But never the smooth flight
Of a bird impatient to reach its nest.

The right words are spoken
But they do not resonate
Reaching out and never finding what you seek
The unknown that lives within
Never to be explored
The language that you speak
Never to be understood

Fear won't embark on a journey
Fear is unwilling to try
Fear won't make the small, quiet pleas
That are left unanswered in the night

Needs unmet
Like hunger, unsatisfied
Freedom,
But with it loneliness
That eats away at the joy inside
A heart untouched by reason
A mind untouched by love
Passion unattained
Failing to unite
Struggling to regain
A small semblance of hope.

Aching for romance
Dreaming for a change
Unable to leave
Unable to breathe
Hold me tight, but let me go
Trying harder than we should
And still, a resounding 'no'

Look into my eyes and smile Follow me with your gaze Come and stand beside me Drink in my scent Graze my arm with yours And let yourself breathe out You're safe here by my side Talk with me about everything And nothing at all Laugh, and cry with me Share a meal with me Hold me close and cherish me. Touch my hand as we walk together Write me words of love Lose yourself in my embrace And find out what I'm worth Kiss like it's the first time, the last time and the best Take me away with you And show me all the rest.

Dream

Would you mind dreaming with me a little while longer Because I'm not finished with you yet You tell me not to remember But I don't want to forget It may not be perfect, nor am I, neither are you But you bring me something I can hold on to It helps me surrender It helps me advance And most of all, you already know, It makes my soul dance.

Parallel lines

We’re a pair of parallel lines You’re just like me We’re on the same path But we don’t ever meet You talk to all my friends  but me I guess I’m not that nice after all You You’re in the house up on a cloud Me I’m on a mission.
