unspoken

remember words barely spoken
and nights spent close and far apart
in years and laugh lines

can't feel your hand but instead
i could feel your heart
pounding in place of my own
and asking for a little more than
he did
what you whispered to me in your mind
and what i felt for you
in the night time
mix together and swim
in glass jars that
we can see but can't quite touch
science experiment that leaves
one confounded and the other
dumbfounded
waiting for the right answers to appear
while we wear keys around our necks
to protect what's near and dear
can't fight the pain
of leaving your memory for another day
stay somewhere beyond my line of vision
so i have to turn my head
and change my course of direction
to follow you
then walk beside you
and one day stand in front of you
with heads slightly bowed
and rings denoting things
that seem so far away right now
to me to you perhaps
and to the us that lives in some
angel's head
who holds on to her past like
i hold on to my own
so at least i have some kind of rock
some semi solid foundation on
which to fall back on
when i finally allow myself to
trust the lean back fall back
motion of my body finally
letting go
and releasing past and previous concerns
that centre around the unspoken
