Space

You fit so neatly behind me
Like the missing piece of a puzzle
Cozy corners
We share a space never meant for two
Wrapped in a haze of blue and gold
As the world lays silent and waiting
The sun touches the horizon
I am alone
This space has grown
Now meant to hold two
I feel small
Waiting for you
To return

Broken

Caught out again like a bug on a web

You reel me in to your trap

Not even noticing what you have done

Breaking my heart with a sudden snap

Dangling there on a string

Waiting for the axe to fall

The world suddenly seems so small

It only exists for you and me

But you are made of clouds and dreams

If I touch you, you would cease to be

Giving way to my plans and schemes

So look I can but never touch

A delicate balance is struck

Until another comes into your life

Even in dreams I have no luck

The Words

So many ways to say

One simple little thing

Do we fear the words themselves?

Is it the intimacy?

Or do we not really mean it

When we use other phrases?

We’ve become so close,

Our world so small

But we’re miles apart in our heads,

In our hearts

When we can communicate so well

Translate a thousand tongues

Why is it so hard

To say three little words?

No matter the language

We must learn

We must try
