Paper Thin
Emily Sep 2011
And we talked all night, into morning.
Though I couldn't hear your voice I swear
I felt breath on my skin.

Struggling for a few moments of desperate sentiment,
Waiting for some suppressed feeling to
Soothe us in our laments.

Just whisper words that falter behind clenched teeth
And I'll say out loud the things I've spoken
Countless times in dreams.

I believed it,
Then it happened
And it astonished me.

I wanted
You to notice
How adult I could be.

A simple
Word for comfort,
I thought would make you mine.

Now she wears
Your devotion
While my hopeless heart still pines.
