searching

when you talk to me
it's like
i've walked into a room
full of fog

and i listen
for your voice
as if i were using sonar

trying to pick up
the nuances
of what you are
trying to tell me

forgive me
if i stutter
as i talk to you

i'm trying to find
my way
through the maze of
your words

trusting
and traveling

doubting
and dodging

moving slowly
through the day

hoping to find
my way
back into your heart

(move)
