Holding Out This Hand

 

why have we not spoken,

 

can't you see that we're

only growing more distant...

 

and all I truly crave is to

somehow recollect, our once was,

 

but I'd never demand your heart again;

instead I'd simply hold out this hand

 

now I'm praying hard, that I've not become

so opaque unto your tender eyes, and

beyond any form of understanding

lovely piece.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Very nice... letting one know you will still be there for them even though your love has been misplaced.

[Eunice Crankyponts]

Great work! I like the final stanza - praying that you have not become opaque. Very poignant.

As always, lovely. The use of enjambment was done to perfection and added that nice flow.
