no pause

totally behind
on everything

trying to be all
to everyone

waiting for the pause
that's not going to come

perhaps never again

people calling 
from left and right

people expecting
with all their might

waiting for the breath
that never exhales

slowly being buried
in all this email

nothing more to see

just the misery of me

(close)

linger

when i was trying
to be mindful with your time

and saying goodbye
yet again

i felt your voice linger

when we hang out 
at the doorway we
lean on the frame
and stare eye to eye

being exclusive

but when we talk
on the airways we
lean on the phone
and listen ear to ear

getting as close as
we can be

through the technology

i never know
when you want to stay
or go

all i know
is that it's forever too soon

will the moon break
when we merge to-gether
again

who knows?

linger closer, maybe we'll see
