Standing Afar

What do I see past those storms?

How is it possible to walk away...

And not look back 

To an orange kissed sunrise of a beginning

 

What is it to stand afar... 

Your heart watching him

With an embrace of hope 

A promise meant for something

 

How do I get over this pain?

Must I write haikus and whisper them

To someone who hears me...

Does anyone care?

 

Do my words matter? 

Can you hear the heartbreak 

flow through my words?

What I try to speak....

But what the heart can’t utter 

 

How can this be?

A daydream begging to wake

Cherishing one another

In the way our humanity needs

Leaning our heads to each other 

 

Pleading you to protect me

While I stand afar from you
