Ache

celeste83

reaching out of my depth

for an idea

intangibility straying through wisps of my hair

and past my eyelashes

into the unknown shape of someone

i think i know.

plagued by indecision and

called a woman

when i simply long for that depth only a man

could reach.

but really

i’m lost in the translation of you

before i learnt the language

and tangled in a conversation

of eyes that know no more

than its mother;

fresh

incoherent

needing.

aching for a silhouette.

    Not a woman but don't think they know less. I feel they got it figured after all who is supposed to be treated more gentle and have the bill paid for them. Good read
