Reaching Without You

By Jeni Hill

Without you

There is but silence.

Without you

The essence of my own thoughts are unrecognizable.

I reach for

The voice that brings love.

I reach for

The hope that brings the voice back to my life.

I cannot remember how my life

Ever lived without you.

I cannot remember ever

Not reaching for your love.

I will wait for you.

I will reach for you.

HOW I NEED YOU!

Why must I always wait?

Why must I always reach?

Why can't I hear that voice?

My thoughts are lonely in despair.

My heart is in suspension.

Another breath will not cross my lips

Until your return.

Let me live inside your love.

Let me love inside your life.

Let me reach for what

I can no longer wait for.

I will no longer reach without you.
