There to Reach

I should give up.

I should really know better.

Too late.

Now I hope I pull through.

I dreamt I felt you.

I'll dream it forever.

Just one touch,

God, I swear I want to.

But I can't have you now.

And I know I never will.

Please come and lay me down.

We'll breathe and sleep so still.

I think it's safe to say...

I think I fell...

It's something I just can't explain.

Tonight, I feel cold.

Tonight, I feel lonely.

I'd give it all,

To have you hold me.

I'll try to pretend.

I'll try to rest easy.

The only way,

To feel you with me.

But I can't have you now.

And I know I never will.

Please come and lay me down.

We'll breathe and sleep so still.

I think it's safe to say...

This hurts like hell...

It's something I just can't explain.

Through the distance,

I think I heard you.

I just hope,

You hear me, too.

If I could just say it.

If I could just tell you.

I'll never do it,

But I swear I want to.

And now...

I felt,

The world,

Just turn,

Inside me.

I hear,

Your words,

Resound,

Around me.

Don't waste,

Your time,

I'm yours,

Already.

The world,

May burn,

But you'll always have me.

I think it's safe to say...

I think I fell...

It's something I just can't explain.

I think it's safe to say...

This hurts like hell...

It's something I just can't explain.

I think it's safe to say...

You've got me now...

It's something I just can't explain.

Author's Note

It's been a while since I posted something new. This is just a little piece that I think will be making it into the poetry book I've been working on.

Oh this is such a real piece of writing, where the love is hard to understand, where is it? it's still there but gone at the same time, I do like it you repeat a several lines in here, it could be a great song... on acoustic guitar. I feel the heartbreak in it, the yearning the need, to have her near... beautifully expressed my friend.

Welcome friend!

I felt my heart breaking as I read this. This is so beautifully expressed & penned. The desperation & need for the other person just leaks through in each line you wrote. Oh the aching it brings. This is amazing. I expected nothing less from you of course.

I feel a great loss here, either to the great unknown or just terrible circumstances due to to a break up...the longing is palpable. It's lyrical to read, nicely pen'd Michael.
