Different length and structure
of ropes binding concepts,
reactions, and people together,
but no matter how different,
we all want to be loved,
a point in our lives
where we feel the
longing of love and
sturdy clasped hands,
that gleam in the eye,
flash of a grin,
affectionate look,
small words and thoughts
slip away unnoticed by others
but stay echoing throughout
someone's mind,
strip away the pain,
break down high walls,
open up a heart and
discover we can find
ourselves in others, and
others can find themselves
in us.
