Tethers.

It’s over screamed for no one to hear
Goodbye, see you around, hate filled ends
Nothing stirs, silence, acceptance -yes

I fell asleep, what did you tell me
Dreamt of your touch, kissing me softly
Were you crying, just tired- come here

Hair through fingertips, nose at my ear
Why me, you, and now us, here, a pair
yours forever without banded ring

Love not easy, love not always kind
Hear me to know me; then still love me
You stir me in ways yet profound
