Caves

5/6/10

I feel like this now

But won’t later.

I don’t know why

I’m even here.

This feeling is so

Awkward and yet

It’s so familiar.

Can’t I do anything

To make this right

Or is this just

How it’s meant to be

I lay down and cry.

Cry out quiet, quiet.

It echoes in my heart.

The vast caverns are

Dark and dank, and dangerous

To explore without

A partner there.

I cry out loud.

So very loud

That it hurts.

It hurts to think,

To cry, to live; to love

Is my only

Solution to this dilemma.

I need a love

Who’ll be there

To be my light.

A light at the end

Of the tunnel isn’t

Always death waiting, but

Can be the greener pastures.
