feelings

how they can

the person providing the words

can bring you close

by letter

                        then stop

( you're left to wonder

 - what happened ?

is it the way you are ?

did you say something wrong ? -

your mind races day and night

chasing the words and nagging them

for answers that they don't have

you look between syllables

and punctuation

and you're put through a loop

like the "o" of each hello )

but the feelings don't stop

they just slowly
