Looking Ahead

 

You have sutured my wound with care

Why then, do I still bleed ?

You have come back by my side,

What more, then, do I need ?

When our eyes meet, you smile at me –

We’re no more far apart,

When I reach out, you’re always there

Why then, do I still hurt ?

What is it, that you took away

When you left me alone ?

You are here and so am I, so

What’s it that has gone ?

Why has love, taken, I feel

A back-seat this one time ?

Why can’t I wallow, effortless

In feelings, once sublime ?

It takes an “I” to flex to “S”

And form an “Us” with “U”

Has rigor mortis set in me ?

Can that be really true ?

I know I can’t be “me” alone

And guess neither can you

Let’s use the “U” and “I” to bUIld

Togetherness anew ...
