Speak to me

Don't ignore the eyes that yearn for your affection
they say many words that the mouth itself cannot project
words stuck inside the throat with no way out.

Fear of rejection grabs the mouth closed watching you past by
not noticing the sorrows that lie deep inside the heart breaking with
every step you take. The earth feels like its cracking underneath my feet
swallowing me whole darkness engulfing me making my eyes start to cloud.

Thudding shaking the ground that has found my knees a hand reaches out to me.
"who would want to save me from this despair?" not you , you haven't looked at me.
my eyes cloud feeling an ocean cascade down my face. yet I am not alone.

who knew the darkness could be so warm. your hand rubs my back soothing me telling me its okay.
Its okay to break down and not be okay because you seen me my eyes spoke to you in a way my
words could not reach.

you seen me speak.

you seen me fall.

you seen me struggle.

you seen me.
