The Statue
By Abyssia
My mind's eyeSees you as A pillar of strengthLacking emotionA historical statueBuilt to guardThough motionless And cold to look at.My heart reaches outBut only so far.I love from a distance,Though you probably don't know -Most statues don't. I waitFor your voice To grow hoarse;For your eyesTo see more than truth.But your eyes are clear now,And your voice is steady.Your posture is straight.Patience comes hard...For you it's worth the wait. Still waiting...For the heat To touch your face.For the light To hit your eyes just right.You whisper your secrets to meOnly to guard them with indifference.When the debris starts to fall...When I pick up the pieces...Maybe then you'll see through the cracks.Dedicated to a special someone.... but he'll never know.
