Craving Yet

It hurts to see, in front of me, a broken beauty bee to see.

Hear I do,  a tear or two, fall right through, the air to you.

Nothing done, I can not take, but heal the heart, I did not break.

 

Mend it slowly with gentle touch and gentle word.

Does not take, but what is want, gives back not but what is no.

Hearing only through the heard, seeing only, vision blurred.

 

Pleading out, attention needed. Coming through, broken bleaded.

Desperately, clawing, shaking. Holding to, what is breaking.

Panic now, tole is taking, setting in all this faking.

 

Realization of the fear.  All is not, end is near.

Groping wildly in the dark for a smolder or a spark.

Finding nothing but the coals, broken, bitter, all these wholes.

 

Pictures, pieces, fragmented life, senseless vision, blurry knife.

Edges faded, whole or part, from beginning to the start.

Turned and went, the other way, now forever, gone to stay.

 

Put together, take apart, all the pieces of the heart.

Whole again, to make of it. Every piece, broken, bent.

Rifled through, figured beat. Two hearts whole, both complete.
