The soft giggle in your voice

Reminiscent of days you cherish

Close to your heart

The one who holds the key

Still holding on

How can you hold my hand

If you can’t let go

How can you let me in

If someone else is already inside

How can I hold you close

When someone can do it better

How can I learn to touch you

When someone else already mastered it

How can I get experience

If the position requires previous experience

How can I walk beside you

When it’s not the path you wanted to take

How can I connect with you

When the past hasn’t disconnected

Trying to connect is causing overload

Too much too soon

Space. You need space

While my head is in the clouds

Trying to be grounded

But still shocked

Cant replace something that irreplaceable

Worn & over used

Too many pieces taken by previous owners

There is not enough left for you

I’ll never be enough for you
