Questions in the Dark Post 334

These glass walls you hide behind
A mirage is all your silhouette becomes
A thought I hold on to too tightly
A breath I don't want to let go of.

Where do you go when you're quiet
When you turn your back and turn away
When you walk away and don't look back
Where do you go when you don't hear me
Where I can't reach you and you don't see

These quiet spaces that choke me
The silence of a heart that wants to speak
The quiet desires that don't find their way
To my lips, to your arms, to where we exist

Where do you go when I can't touch you
Where do you hide when I call out for you
When I keep holding on to a memory
Of when you wouldn't let me go
When I cry tears you don't taste
Where do you go where I can't follow...

Your walls they hide you from my sight
Yet through my walls you just walk through
And from the dark
You come.
And despite me...
I smile.
And the questions just slip away
Cos I am too afraid to, cos I know...
That I can't ever go
Like you go from me.
