Temporary Leave of Absence

I hear the clanking of your footsteps
The tap tappings of your fingertips
Feel the heavyness of your Breathing
The undertoned Anger in your blinking
Could this be the dream I've been dreaming?
Or the nightmare I've been avoiding

Must be something I can't hear
Or smell
Or see
Or touch
What can I do?
I'll just feel

I wait for the waiting to end
The End to stop waiting
Must be a dream I've been avoiding
A nightmare I've been creating
I can't feel your touch
Your lips, your arm
Your kiss
I can't see the anger
the Love.
The need

But I still need
And we still bleed
the Same.

From temptation and Frustration
from contemplation
of your mind's elation

We still need to bleed
to See
to love
to feel

You hear the sighs in my breathing
and uneven heart still beating
A dilation
Your eyes dilate
They wait
You hesitate

We recreate
Our fate

This is not goodbye
No.

This is love growing Dense
This is fate putting up a fence
It's just a temporary leave of absence.
