Sore heels that ran a marathon
Tiptoe over thoughts
That when spoken create confusion and hurt.
Last night
Sadness
Mingled with confusion at the ball of emotion,
As I mingled with my friends,
Speechless
In an ocean of tears,
Hiding my fears.
Last night I ached with a friend confused, another too far,
And a friend who was lost
As so many are.
Was it then that I dreamed of your laugh?
Was then that they stroked your head?
No,
It was many nights.
Many nights,
Many nights…
