A little gift to myself- my own writing...the first to come from my hands in a very long time.

PAUSE


just pause
i need a sec.
i need a sec to
hear what i feel
what i fear,
need to talk to the girl,
need to listen with clear
clarity with nothing
blocking the ear
no nonsense
no people
no world to endear
no complaints
no restraints
no dramatic faints
from the heart with the pulse
that quivers complaints
with wants long replaced
with material traits
blocking my ears
of the cries
and the tears
of the one which above all
i'll be stuck with for years.

Me.
