Language has Lost its Meaning

 

I don’t want to talk in metaphors

And similes anymore

I only want the raw emotion

Of your stare

To pierce the very heart of me

 

I only want to feel what it means

To be with you

Tangled up in you

Wrapped in all of you

 

I don’t want to hide behind walls

Of my own creation

Facades used to cover the depth

Of my emotions

The intensity of sharing a conversation with you

 

I want nothing more than to reach for you

Across the emptiness between our moments together

And find an anchor to hold onto

Nothing more than safety for the idea of me

Solace to comfort me in times of need

 

It is so much to ask of you

So much to require of you

In maintaining me

 

It is so much to need from you

So much to demand of you

In maintaining me
