tight

Heart is hurting a lot tonight
Tight
Squeezing
Waves, painful
Anxiety overwhelming
Fear, flooding

Alone

Needing a touch
A gesture
Discover the plan

How will you find me?

Love

Love me and want me and see me

Light up
In the room, empty before
Full, complete, safe

Me, and you

missed connections

feeling like I'm missing those connections
the ones that tie a knot around the heart
pull you closer in, deeper and get to the real
the honesty, the togetherness of that
relationship
and I'm missing these connections
edges folding in, one over another
no gaps to let anyone, anything, none of it
slide in and catch me
catch me to the loose threads
stuck, tangled, in all that mess
but the needed mess to close up
that lonely bitter cold and bring in
the warmth
