embrace
clinging quietly
twitching grips of future pain
invisible loss already in mourning
thickening silences
thickening "happy" silences
what else is there to do?
grip tighter
possessive nails
and searching pupils
nothing's wrong
nothing's there
until later
until later; the time to morn
i
LhOaVtEe you.
i need you.
a single lifeline
that lasting bond
it will survive
hide the wishing heart
and shelter the grief with joy
LhOaVtEe the moments left
and what is here now
is there no reason for me to keep you?
resist the twisting
snatching for freedom
but i need you.
i LhOaVtEe you.
cracking goes deeper, but it knows nothing
nothing
nothing of the world.
nothing coming forward
i LhOaVtEe the someone to be here
i LhOaVtEe what will come
the testing of time
with it
is the stress
and pain.
how could i ever trust that much?
forever and now and always and,
and crying and cracking and nothing
fine fine fine..
i know there is nothing but whatever i feel for you
and it is a burning so glistening
it stings my tears
and melts my core
the sun's empty gifts
bring nothing
how can someone LhOaVtEe so much?
why when i need you?
why if you'll be gone?
i LhOaVtEe
no one
and nothing
and everyone
and everything
and it all. always and forever and now and then and-
what else is there to do?
but drop my arms and submit to the riptides.
what's one more crack?
what difference would it make?
when i could just wish..
that i could keep you.
i still need you.

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts."
