dream

Hands laced tight
Grounding a heart ready to flee
Just hoping you'd pull me back...
Please not through sympathy.
Dark nights where shadows
Of forbidden thoughts may dance
Allow me relief.
But all too soon you're gone again
Drifting away from my grasp as I watch on
helpless.
I wondered, did you realise,
My lips were poised,
My heart was screaming
As I felt your hand slide,
slip,
spin away from me?
But now, alone, your touch eludes me
Once more.
