Waiting

As close as you are

I cannot reach you

Messages sent,

Heart laid open

You know the truth of it

The wings of my heart beat

And I wait

Trying to not

Hold my breath

You sitting with your soul

And I with mine

Trying to let silence fall

Yet here are these words

Trying to ease the waiting

Giving voice to my soul

Wishing to go deeper

Breathe, and I feel the fire

Ignited by you

Tell me you felt the spark

Tell me even now

You are burning

Tell me in your own language

And I would savour those words

To repeat them back to you

I want to tell you of this heart

That like a great bird

Beats for you
