Stars

How can I call to you
when all my words are silt
buried - underneath my heart
how can I feel
with everything
I’ve felt?


I’m too tired to shout
too hoarse.


Where were you
when I couldn’t be found
too afraid to hear the thunder
when I lost my ground.


So when I’m on my own
don’t squeeze me.


Hold me
take away the cold
stop me from crying
and bring me home.


I forget what I knew
but I knew I loved you.


Don’t banish me
nor see my faults
don’t take away my breath
for all I have .... are stars....


and you.
