Are you there? Still there?
The thumping of a heart within me
Familiar, does not feel mine
Since that dreadful night.
Ignorant child of the brave and strong!
My veils are no more opaque,
My walls are no more concrete.
Detest as I did always the weak,
Weakness befalls on me today.
Yearning for the warmth of your embrace
in this unknown chill,
My bare soul lay still.
If you are there, still there
Don't take my hand as I stumble,
Lie with me, star-gazing
Let your stolen glances affirm
You are there, still there.

Personally
I look inside, myself
if their echo
still reverberates, in my pulse
resonates with my hopes
then, I whisper a silent wish
and hope, they're well
wherever they are
and that maybe our path
will cross again
while their, taint
still lingers, in my heart..
cos we can't reverse 'too late'
once
that threshold has been crossed
and yeah, Time
has no power here, days to decades
there's no limitations, to fate..
(thanks for sharing, dear poet)
That so beautifully represents the theme of the poem. Thank you again, L.B!
