don’t say it, please

You are always in my thought

deep in my heart is where you reside

I try to reach out to you

but your eyes

they push me away

 

longing for those days when

your hands couldn’t stay still

your eyes caressed my body

and your touch tamed my wildness

these eyes push me away and

your hands are steady

 

We have grown so distant that

words fail me when we are together

I fear for you, for us

I long for a heart to heart

but your eyes

they push me away

 

Don’t say it, please

let’s make this work.
