aching wires

torn from a memory
of what used to be
but only how between you and me
torn out
beyond repair
repitition makes blunt or blase
what i've once tried to say
lost. she had you. she wrecked you.

and once left alone. the shadows
cast the dark our souls feel
side by side and more alone
than once before
talk like wire lines between the lines
words said. but not the ones meant.

to grab ahold. is all i want
your hope in my hand
and heart in my mind.
or hand still.
