[outofsynch]

halfheartedly,
in vein
i write.

i miss you
and it slows my tongue;
dulls my wit.

i want to seem strong
resolute
determined
but my station is eroding
below, the waves of longing lap
eat away at the rocks
eat away at my foundation.

the tears of my heart
seep
feed the waves
feed the waters

and forgiveness weakens me
and compassion undermines me
and understanding shakes me
and inside i shiver

the comfort from my walls cracks
and i fear the onslaught once they fall.
