Should Words

Should I tell you

That I'm empty

That I'm aching

To be filled

To be milled

Into soft

Fine

Powder

So that I might

Finally feel a lightness

In my heart

Should I tell you

That its hard

To have such space

Between me

And the place

I wish I could be

I wish I knew how

To allow

Myself to be free

Should I tell you

I'm thirsty

Tongue desperate

To taste

To soak

To know

The freshness

Of love

Of trust

Of arms draped across

Bodies burning

From lust

Of a touch

That heals

As it floods

My senses

Should I end this

On this

Highest of notes

Should I go

While we still

Have smiles on our faces

While we still believe

We are making

The right choices

Before I am left

Hopeless

Helpless

Hurt at your feet

Should I tell you

I am afraid

Or should I wait

Till

We meet
