Catching All

Can the world stay silent

enough for me

to hear the sweet sound

of each time you breathe



Could one holy whisper

deliver and hide

each withered instance

of denial and pride



All your sweet words

only a picture

of how things once were



and all your sweet kisses

created to torture

the lone and depressed

self destructive from the pressure



the fear of no one

to hold you at night-

at night, where we once watched

the beauty of light



though i do wrong,

you never wronged me

my one truth, my you

my one and only

Author's Notes/Comments: 

i'm not sure if the poem is of lost love, current love, or a disallusioned person...
