My mind feels like an empty canvas
Waiting endlessly for the first stroke to be painted
Across a stark white space begging for color
Black, gray, gradients of burnt embers
Smudged against a colorful spray of light
Light peeking behind a cracked door
Suspense fills me as wonder creeps in
Is it fluorescent light stripping all warmth
Or a warm ambient light casting playful
Shadows that elude to a hopeful narrative
The pillows envelope me as my head pounds
Soft velvet blue cushions against bland beiges
The contrast amuses me as I ponder
...Where are you....
...What are you thinking...
...Do you miss me?
Has your heart crashed against your chest
With the blood pumping through your brain?
Has this time filled your heart with longing for me
As my heart aches for you
I long to lay my head against your chest
As it rises with your breath
Tickle my hair... caress my skin
As your lips brush my forehead
Leaving traces of wet kisses
Cooled by the still air
I search my heart for the words we spoke
And it is drowned out by the words I want to say
...I love you...
...I want us...
...I am sorry...
Do my words reach you across this distance?
Does your heart warm as I send them out?
Could we forget the hurt and embrace the new once more?
Pretend we are two starry eyed lovers
Laying eyes on each other like the first time?
I remember the distance between us
Was once filled with an energy that connected us
Across tables and mountains and bedrooms
Can we start over?
Will you see me like you did then?
I cling to hopes of a new tomorrow
I cling to love for you.
