Searching

Your hand,
cradled inside mine
My ears,
on the edge of their seats
As you tell me
of music, life, and friends
The words are sweet
like syrup,
they flow from your lips.

I wanted to tell you
How I really felt
without brow or palms
dripping with nervous moisture
I just thought it would be nice
to embark, braving the seas
hopefully finding treasure
where you marked the spot.

Leave your face
branded inside my heart
to quickly ease the loneliness
leaving behind only
a plastered smile
and pacified knowledge
that a victorious battle
of wits
and countless tears
has seen your flag waving,
signifying its end.
