The Way
I find myself thinking
of the way that you felt
curled up behind me
your arms wrapped around me…
And I know that
was just an illusion
a facade that
I let myself believe
I fell into it
like I fell into you
and now I need a safety line
to pull myself through.
Because you’re not behind me
with your arms wrapped around me
you’re just holding my heart in your hands
and you’re nowhere.
I chose to be here
I left myself here on my own.
But I find myself thinking
of the way that you felt
curled up behind me
your arms wrapped aroudn me
and I want
to go back there again.
