Back

Falling back into the pattern-
that safety, we were once so familiar-
you're off mars, onto Saturn
where your blood runs cold, no changing back

It's frightening, un-reassuring
I've lost gravity-
numbness overcomes, it's not-so alluring
your a blur. And I can't seem to complete this task-

You've been gone to long, baby please 
Come back, to this place you called home
this place of security, ease-
and where your not at risk for disease

you're what I long for back
I can't see you but I feel you,
I'm running off the map,
across the atlantic, into the arctic

it's like I'm suffocated, buried alive
the pain so deep kills inside
you're here, you're gone and all I do is strive-
to get you back, please baby please just come back

After a very super weekend I am back at the soup reading. I enjoyed reading your poetry this morning Sarah. There are so many diverse writers here and I am so happy I am able to read most of them. Have a wonderful week and may you find what you are looking for in life and in your writing. Love, Carol
