Tell Me

Longing to be understood,

  I sealed these lips.

Longing to be heard,

  I cried in silence.

Longing to be touched,

  I evaded your caress.

Longing to be loved,

  I grew colder.

I thought by doing so

  I might wake you

But I didn't; I wasn't able to.

Emotions locked up inside me;

  Fretting I refused to reveal.

Anguish I kept to myself

  Problems I solved on my own.

Alone, cold, unsheltered.

  I didn't have a home.

You were all I knew

  Yet I felt if I fell

I had to heal my own wounds.

  I had to get by alone.

Where will you be standing?

  By my side, guiding my every move

  Or behind me, to catch me

    before I fall into a deep abyss?

Tell me, I might just not

  be able to wait that long.
