Desire

By heinzs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I want to touch you, but I am afraid. It has been such a long time... have we grown to be strangers together? I long to touch you, I wish to hold you near. How can I reach across the wake of time and span this chasm of fear? I want to hold you, but I am not worthy. I may have been once, but as I am today, how can I hope to please you? I long to caress you, but the when and the where keep my hand away... and in this state of fear, how do I hope to dare? I need to touch you, it aches deep in my heart. The grief so strong I can no longer remain silent! Can I hope that you hear me? I need to be with you. Something must change. I cannot alone... let it be together! Else how long can we go on? I want to change with you, and in that change renew our vows. Clear our hearts of spite and once more, unified, we can face the daily demons of our life.
