Kept at bay

The longing contained
somehow
The uncontained waits…
lurking
It will be loud, raw,
unstoppable
The hole that can’t be filled –
How many lifetimes have we been dancing together?

You’re keeping me at bay
I’m keeping it at bay
Clinging to safety
This flimsy raft
The vast ocean
Who am I kidding?

I can’t see what I need to see
