Could

I was thinking
Maybe I could hold you for a while?
Maybe I could cry a little.
You could pull me close.
I could touch your lips
You could whisper my name.
Maybe.
You could hold me for a while.
In this
Shelter
We could remain
Pleased.
You could try to forget
The world spinning round,
I could lay my heart on your chest
And forget all the rest
Of the mayhem outside.
We could shed our tears together
Mix them with a little love.
Share a few sighs
Feel the lightening as we touch.
I could listen to your song
Maybe I could sing along.
If you were to touch me
Could I look you in the eyes
Or would i run away and hide
Like I always do?
Would I let you
Wipe away my tears
So softly?
Hear you say my name
Or cover my soul in shame?

Maybe

You did not know.
Or perhaps you
did not listen
To the true depth of sadness
In her voice.
The exaggerated laugh.

Maybe you felt you had said all there was to say.

Maybe you looked away
From the broken heart in her smile
The silent plea
In her tenderness towards others.
The quiet tears
In the reach of
her fingertips.
And now you’re left
Shaking your head
And wondering
Why
Sometimes even
Angels
Cannot save the flesh and bone
Of a soul
Who longs so desperately
To go home.
