two hands

tonight i saw

a couple

walking in the dark

holding hands

you could tell

they were happy

with a glimpse of

their shapes of the night

i've realized 

the past few weeks

how much i needed a listen

sometimes i don't know

if the world is one sided

and i don't understand the question

i'm just looking for an even exchange

you know

i've never treated you that way

expected you to trade your gold for silver

i've always asked questions that lead into you

if our hands aren't equally connected

will we ever be

two shapes merging into one

we all hurt

and look for a release

the night plays a song on the piano

maybe romantic

maybe full of pain

maybe somewhere on the median

i know i can handle it all

i just need two hands

         connecting

we all hurt
and look for a release
the night plays a song on the piano
maybe romantic
maybe full of pain
maybe somewhere on the median
i know i can handle it all
i just need two hands
connecting

this speaks so loud to me, I can so relate. Just looking for a release...

Sometimes you see a passing moment and want to capture it forever. This poem reminded me of that.
