Hold

fragment
Moment, still and breathless,
 a calm sincerity develops, 
winds pick
 up, 
step by 
step, move by
 move, motion by 
motion, 
chest lifts and flows downward
 expelling the precious life 
within, replaced, and again, continued 
shlumping forward, feet barely leaving 
the ground. 
There is the look, the gaze, the desire, the will. 
Yearn for me, yearn to comfort 
me. 
Shoulders 
drop while the hurt captures heart and soul. 
Eyes form kind words in a frown of care. 
Beating fills the ears with a sound, 
slow yet defined. 
The running urge suppressed, 
one can just stand. 
and wait. 
The wall's boundaries blur with a figure of strength. 
Arms block the world 
from the fragile heart, the world spurned and pierced. 
Hair hangs a mess over the shoulders and mingles with the emotional 
downpouring. 
Vision disintegrates once again,
yet the warmth, the presence
 emanates from Support. 
Grasp the stayed cotton, 
clench it the life remaining. 
Flash of pain and the cheeks, red and stained move to a place they should know so well.
 A shadow of a figure against the continuing of the once wall. 
Closed, secure, enveloped. 
This is a time unknown and a burden to bare. 
shoulder wet, hair brushing the firm of the jaw.
