Letters in the dark

I wrote to you with my whole heart

Discarded now on the floor

In the threshold between us

I look at the back of your neck

Your beautiful hair pulled up

You glance to the side and I almost feel you

Wondering at my foolishness

But I go right on quietly hurting

Never knowing what I'm afraid to ask

Then we have to move

So much for introspection

You go your way again

And I secretly long to be the man

You might return to in your heart

And really see

Until then these scraps remain

Seemingly written in vain

Until then these eyes watch

As you quickly turn away
