Just Embrace Each Other

There’s a feeling trapped inside my heart –

A feeling we’ve all had;

But none can describe.

It’s a burning without fire,

A pain with lack of knife,

A hole filled with blood and skin,

A coldness in the summer sun;

A deep-pitted –

Illogical –

Longing.

We need each other –

Though we hate to admit it.

We love each other –

And occasionally say it.

We love with caution,

Hoping that the fire will burn out;

And that the hole will be filled.

For a while we feel great –

Exuberant –

Until we cut ourselves from each other.

We leave our veins bare;

To bleed the heat and emotion;

We want to hold onto a little longer.

We feel the skin collapse;

And blood fall through;

Until the hole is back again;

And chokes us of compassion.

That feeling grows again;

Deeply seeded in our hearts;

We close each other out;

And refuse to need company;

When we know that only the company;

Will seal the hole;

And drive the cold away.

We throw ourselves into meaningless flings;

And wonder why we feel nothing;

When we give such little effort.

We need each other;

Each others’ emotion;

To kill the seed and spark joy –

Only then may hearts grow full of love and warmth.

We shouldn’t be afraid to love;

Or throw meaning away;

Instead;

Let’s embrace each other.
