"Within The Lines"

I look at you...

And see you

The being hidden deep within

A reflection of parts of me

Reaching out...

Wanting to connect

Emotions and feelings

Some only are known by the senses

While others can't so easily be obscured

Honest moments build and pass

We are more a like than we are different

Brave is your curiosity...

But your actions lack conviction

Silence weighs heavy under the words left unsaid

My every wish for your being is to be free...

From the secrets that you haven't told

Don't push me away...

Then wonder where I went

I am here...

Waiting...

Arms wide open...

Holding out hope...

But I cannot embrace, “Maybe or I don't know...”

So I must surrender to what is...

And what I know now

That until you are ready to receive anything I have to give...

I will continue to hide you within the lines of my poetry.
