We Are
In your fears
I am insecure
In your hesitancy
I am left waiting
In your flight
I am alone
In your self doubt
I am inadequate
and in the shadows of your eyes
I find the trails of my mistakes
the recrimination for my selfishness
the evidence of my self-centered mess
In the palpable silence between us
is the weight of all our fears and pain
the distance that keeps us numb
armors our hearts from further pain
Staring across the table in contented silence,
Knowing though our aches are isolated and unvoiced,
the other knows all our voids, the shadows, and broken shards.
Our mutual lonesomeness is the glue of our Love, the binding of broken into One.
