are you there
whispering into alcoves
as passerbys listen in
wondering what secrets
can set them free
bound to pathways
of pebbles and hate
are you hurt
have old wounds reopened
new blood covering old scars
warn out scar tissue
a faint reminder of yesterday
failed ritual attempts
to transcend this time
are you waiting
for me to come to town
with my hand out for you
gold in my coat pocket
bountiful room in my heart
unconditional love for the boy
whose blood should have been mine
are you lost
have cold nights worn you down
has his attitude changed you
with an angered voice
or is it a soft touch now
a gentle kiss on the neck
someone who makes you better
are you better
not knowing where i am
wondering who i am now
remembering who i used to be
why i am the way i am now
is it easier to see him
with a future so bright
that maybe i, should stop wondering
about you
