Solitude

Wishing you would
Walk in
Maybe –
You will say
Yes…
Yes – you are beautiful
And I think of you
When all is
Wrong.
Dark becomes the light
In my heart that
I have been
…missing.
You are like
Wonderful…
This life that I
Have not
Had
This day that I
Have never
Lived.
But…
This room is
Empty –
Full of
Space and
Unknown faces
…Fear.
Like my swollen
Heart – only full
Of
…hope?
You remind me of
When I felt
Joy on a rainy day
During a month
Of no
Sun.
You are not here
These crowded
Corners – full of
Black.
Like the way my
Heart signs
And resigns
When I realize I
Was merely
Seeing a shadow –
Hearing my own
Voice –
Telling me of
These wanting
Dreams – words …
You may never
Understand.
I speak of the
Way…I
Feel…
Of how
I need you
To
Be.
