I need light
Like a flower placed in the dark
I've grown weaker and wilted.
Can you place my rooted feet in this *** inside the sunlight?
Why must you not say a word in reply?
Would it hurt to relate to another hurting soul
even if you were at the same point that night?
Maybe we needed each other in such moments
maybe we've had parallel lives
However, your silence cuts my heart like a thousand knives?
Maybe I approached you and said, anything,
since my words were all messed up in fears that you wouldn't understand....
Maybe what I was asking for was you to hold my hand?
I might seem dark..
Lustful.....
Desperate.......
Pitiful......
Less Than what I should seem to feel......
But let's be real....
We both cry dry and silent tears...
What is the me reminding you of those who treated the heart in you, cruel?
I'm not that person. I am a different moment and future.
No chance is worse than giving one.
Hurts more
and is like being shot in a demanded gun duel?
Just keep up with me and you shall see...
That united hearts is what I have sought...
Give me a valuable glance...chance...
we can both then be freed from our cells
and run in the sun,together, forever, together, to be.
