Hold
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.
