I'm here
drifting through moments
untouched
searching for that voice
I'll never hear ~
silence
in pages
folded beneath my heart
warm enough to feel
yet deep enough to cut
I crave you
in wide awake fantasies
reaching back
to caress your world
I stumble
a thousand times
trying to find my way
into some place unknown
where you breathe
softly
without me...

Beautiful. This piece left me breathless, & you ended it perfectly with
"I stumble
a thousand times
trying to find my way
into some place unknown
where you breathe
softly
without me..."

*breathes*...without you...

this is absolutely beautiful...touches with a rendering of supple words felt deeply...what comes to mind...
do i dare breathe
for i feel you inside me
a razors edge
if I exhale
I will bleed
