SLIVER OF SPACES

Can you connect the gaps With me, nonetheless? Will you spread yourself thin, For the few and far between? Fill the crevices No matter how deep Bridge the chasms Even if its jagged at the seams Do you see the sliver of spaces? The look on our faces meaningful gazes Try as you might And hug me so tight Even if you bleed through I still feel the sliver of spaces Between me and you We sit on conversation chairs Not speaking, not saying a word But all is heard in the palpable Elbows abutting, yet not touching But feeling everything in the tangible Misconstrued what you overheard Misunderstood my every word I crawl in spaces between worlds I find your wounds in places I've never heard lying here aching in my bed waiting and watching thoughts of you humming in my head waxing and waning hoping I'm not dead You prod, I poke you push, I bleed The tracks you played Salvation I prayed I felt the emptiness Of the sound as it fades Falling in love, falling out of Falling in the ravine I still see the sliver of spaces between you and me.
