I tap my fingers

while thinking of you

your face plays in my head

a tired tune

 

over and over

a record

I turn you

 

music in my mind

I cannot ignore you

 

I drum my heart

to the beat of your breath

you lungs drawing inward

pull my heart from my chest

 

forwards and backwards

you pull me

you push me

 

clueless to my plight

I almost wish you’d ignore me

 

your musical melody

is so bitter sweet

from the sparks that ignite

when our two spirits meet

 

to the knowledge

I can’t have you

whatever that means

 

but I cannot ignore you

I can’t let you be

 

Because I need you

I love you

You are my harmony
