Have Heart

Of every night

I caressed, folded and molded

The pillow, trying to forge

The resemblance of your face

I pulled myself together,

Stronger and stronger.

And while you were away,

I quake the world for us

I faced the world, with you in me,

With your love empowering me,

In the overwhelming struggle

Forging a better self

Forging a better me

A better tomorrow

For us.

That said, I am pulling away

From the giving ups

And to rise,

Rather than to stumble

And crumble

Like a molten volcano.

But though building up concretes

And the whole figments

Of imagery being the dam against the strongest tide,

I do too, cracked a little. 

Because no matter how sturdy I seemed,

How far I flew,

I need a soft ground to land to.
My safe ground, my sanctuary.

It's inconvenient to walk,

When the naked truth is

I miss

Every

Single

Particle

Of

Your

Touch.

So I will wait for you, love

With an empty open hand

To be filled

With yours.
