Longing
Longing
wait
do you hearken to my tears in silence?
do you see the innumerable shards?
of my scattered laughter?
does your nose smell of my burnt smile?
do you see its smoke, pervading the air?
can you step into the inside of my eyes?
and watch those wrinkled wishes?
and tired dreams?
do you even know how my body bleeds in pain?
every time i see your face & memory
through the silent mirror of my heart?
do you?
