I sit so far away
Knowing you’re in pain
Tasting fear
Not sure if mine or yours
My heart aches
Cracking at the seams
I think I feel it bleed
Dripping under my skin
The universe feels cruel
Revealing us now
When we cannot touch
Or declare our truth
I hold onto hope
Yet my strength stumbles
Tears are finding cheek
As I wish I was there
My love is yours
To draw into your heart
I pray it is the cure you need
Even if it sucks me dry

Thanks. It’s difficult to write poems like this. Especially when I should be going to sleep.

I hear Elliot and I think of Scrubs and Leverage. Funny how one is female and the other is male.

Animated movies seem to get a lot of straight to DVD sequels. Gotta get the children when they’re young . . . that has to be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever thought/said/typed.

Very lovely, Charles. You have such an amazing skill with words. You can write scenes of intense battle that make me want to duck while I’m reading all away across the spectrum to poems of heartfelt sadness and pain that make me grab a box of tissues.
