When the words don’t reach
Where the feeling doesn’t end
When things stay inside
That the mouth doesn’t express,
When the soul feels infinite
How can I begin to explain that the blood
In my heart
Doesn’t stop
It’s held back on the outside
And it stays still
Without wings
And they give it words
Words that don’t heal
The loneliness
But they try
How can I say
That what I want are hands,
Arms
And legs
That feel
That feel
The thorns of the way
The morning flowers
And above all your hands
That so many hands touched
And with mine they stayed
And above all your hair,
Your face
And your whole body
How can I say
That what I want is to love you
You
Just you.
