Unheard Love

I trace the lines of your careless grin. A map to

nowhere, I can't begin. Your world is straight, mine bends and

twists. A compass broken, lost in this. I love you in a language

you can't hear. A shadow chasing light that's never near. You're the sun,

I'm the moon, we don't align. But oh, I burn for you every time.

Your hand rests close, buddy. It's not for me.

The tethered bird longing to fly free. You talk of her,

your voice so kind. I smile, though storms rage in my mind.
