He fills my cup
Grey day, frayed heart,
Five steps forward,
four steps back,
Round on ground trod before.
Hopes and dreams,
fear and doubt.
You enter in.
Work crushing, heart rushing
Where it could have waited,
held back.
A change of direction
desperately wanted
But all I have
is emotions knotted.
Then you step in.
I try to hold on to all you say,
Sparks of hope keep me going,
How things will be,
there’s no way of knowing…
Life goes fast, then slow,
My heart cold,
our conversation old.
Then you drag me up
And overfill my cup
As you
Step in.
