Love

5/11/11

Your voice on the other end, so unexpected, wavers

I strain to hear through controlled chaos

Another round of loud cheering

Nothing jubilant between us, only brokenness

The celebration forgotten temporarily

Uncertainty takes over

My feet begin to take me without aim

Increasing distance from distraction

Turning from obligations

Bringing me closer to your hopelessness

Despite the pain that trembles in my ear

I feel soothed by the sound

Dedicated to "the brother" whose sister still stumbles after him- you know who you are <3
