HANGING

HANGING

 

Anguish burning my cells

Tormented and crying rain

Frustration a silent bell

Emotions falling on dry plains

You cannot hear me, You cannot

You choose, I am fading

Northern lights unreflecting

Hurling the stones of helplessness

Why can’t you understand?

 

Hanging on to particles

So tiny they are imperceptible

Destination to oblivion

 

Grab my heart, quickly slipping

Replace my love before it dulls

Listen to the complaining leaves

They fall but cannot merge

Angry wasps brood overhead

Invisible glass prevents compromise

I feel so desolate, I feel stinging water

Why do the tears bleed?

 

Hanging over the eave

The weeping willow sighs

Train trestles buckle

 

Greater is the love I have

For you are my blanket

I feel so cold, I feel so exposed

Where is my blanket? Hello?

Underneath my bed of soil

I try to find you unable to see

Shut out from your world

Can you find me?

 

Hanging beside the elm

My body sways with pain

But the limb holds steadfast

 

Need for your understanding

Desire for your company

Reach out save a drowning soul

Give me your decision, not silence

Forge a solution, not excuses

Be with me eternity calls

Answer my quest before you go

Do you love me?

 

Hanging above my body

My soul sees your heart

Soften and see my pain

 

Do not lose my love, please call

Give in to my desire, become whole

I do not want scraps off the table

I cannot be a second-place trophy

Two hours plus one day

Do I fit into your schedule?

I do not want to be the leftovers

Will you compromise?

 

Hanging over night

I am the moon glowing

Bathe with me, speak and heal
