Reach me... |
REACH If I clench my teeth, will I be able to reach the other side If I begin my journey, with my feet walking in tandem with the heat of rejection, Will I be able to reach the end of the world? If I close my eyes, and cross my fingers If I break into the silence of eternity If I move into the light of a warm face Will I be able to see you smiling back? Will I be able to breathe again? Or, am I just not fit to fight this race? Am I not foolish even to reach out? Grab a hold of the dagger’s hand The sweet temptation of a thirst kiss Where does this road lead? Where does this confliction end? I’ve lived the wrath of another life And I’ve screamed out the wickedness of a present disaster And yet, where does this all take me? Where are my feet to go? Where do these tears reach? And when will these worn-in shoes be revived? Can I reach out to you? Will you follow my footsteps and pick up the shattered, Scattered pieces of glass Teardrops from a lost time Haphazardly leaping to the floor? Will you pick them up? Keep them in your little crystal case And sigh with every memory? I break for you I want you There is no desire that is as fervent inside of me as that There is no pain that could rival it No fear that could penetrate it No sadness that could dissolve it It feasts upon itself Helplessly roaring as it tears at my heart Pierces into my flesh Destroys me Completes me Leads me into the other side of the world And yet, I cannot reach out to you Cannot see you Cannot bring myself to understand you Where are you in this heat? Where are you in this heart of mine? Our love was nurtured so beautifully Our story together was made so effortlessly So, where are you now? Have you slipped off to the end of the world? Do I dare to follow you? Or, more, is that where the healing truly begins I need your warmth I need you to reach me I need to be a child with you once again Helpless Emotional Passionate Free I need your light And before I fall off and out of the world Before I grasp hold of the stars, and ride the waves of misunderstanding Before I lose my perception of what is real Reach out to me... Reach into me... Reach through me... Reach me... -Allie Batt 5/13/12 |
