The Embrace

Published January 18th, 2007

Your unruly blonde hair 

Caresses your face 

You seem so lonely 

So unsure of yourself 

Is the embrace of your hair 

The only kind of embrace 

You have ever known? 

Your eyes tell me more 

Than your lips ever could 

They look into forever 

You’ve seen too much 

You pretend to play 

To have fun 

To be a part of the world 

But I can see that all the while 

You are crying inside 

Longing for peace 

But knowing yet of only one option – 

To keep going
