We scream silently aching
reaching out.
Alone in the vast sea
we seek another
to be with us
who knows us
“be with me”

Wanting to pull close
and fearing the fall
we hang on the edge
call to the other.
hearing,
sometimes we plummet over, down
hitting the ground hurting ourselves
Again, (and i'm just so tired of waking up all alone)
fearing trembling inching forward
we meet and for a time
comfort the other.
