Fervor

I say I ache for you
But your heart is fleeting
And so much life falls
between those hungry moments

Is it you or fervency that I crave?
I know you're not enough
But I can't stand to see you go

Do you see me?
What would I grasp
If I could see you?

What would I ask you
If I wasn't censored by fear?

Might I say:
I ache for you
But it's my heart that's fleeting
I need the life that falls
between those hungry moments

It's not you
It's fervency that I crave
I know I'm not enough
That's why I can't stand
to see you go

If you can see me
And you'll let me see you
What I ask you
Is to tell me so I believe

What is all this?
And what are we doing it for?

Just by reading your poem I feel fervent :). "Do you see me? What would I grasp If I could see you?" is a brilliant line and very rich with thought and deep analysis..it makes me reflect what do loved see in me and what could they grasp and vice-versa..
Brilliant notions and reflections can be drawn from this great writing of yours! well done

Thank you! I'm glad it spoke to you. It was kind of an experiment with trying to put words to a feeling. An experiment that I think worked out well! :)
