The Love that didn't reach.....

How do you love someone that doesn't love you?...

Mute

Life still goes on

spinning out of control
moving around me
like wind in my ears,
blurry and cold.

In the darkness of the night
your hand touches my shoulders
loneliness is nothing new to me....

Truth is, before you-there was me
loving me...
or at least pretending...

Pretending that,
In my dreams i hear your voice
as sweet as an angel sings
your laugh, your smirks and your sweet talk
is as though you are by my side
as you said you would be...
promises that you made...
turn into to stagnant dreams that you take....
away...
your words, not mine, "I'll be there for you..."
and then the void seeps in...

I played my whole hand for it all...
risking safety for inconsistent affection, silence and empty stares-
makes me wonder if you really cared...at all?

I reach out for you
in a room full of darkness
hoping that I stumble upon your hand, your eyes, your heart...again.
Nevertheless, I guess my arms weren't long enough....
either the distance between you and I is purposed...with time,
or my Love will never reach...you.
