more
than a quiet undiluted
apathy from you.
blow a feverish kiss
my way
give me
unhealthy loving
make me
feel something
make me
care
show me
i care still
made of
the coldest granite i was
holding together
a tempest of emotions
break me
i want you to
shatter my walls
of indifference
cause
i want to love
i want to be in love
i want to not
be scared anymore
in an alternate universe
i could be running wild
barefoot
in the cobbled streets
of far away
and maybe just maybe
dreaming of this life
it almost happened
almost
where i’d have been
bundled up
in scarves
and buried
in cotton snow.
so so close
to answering
all those questions
and the wanderings
of this restlessness
that carries
my toes
so so close
i can taste
the nip in the air
there i can see
the cheery cherry blossoms scattered
and trailing the hem
of my dress
of the rock structures cold
pierced with stories
where i may lean
my head against the wall old
and the memories
that may permeate
my skin
and may i then
be there
with you
to absorb
the magic
of it
all?
and may we kiss
sweet and tender
against that rock cold
and take some
of that beauty with us
to wherever
the winding road goes
