I want I want to reach out to you
I want I want to be able to
touch you
when I want to

before I could reach out my hand
I got afraid
that you might turn me away

and so alone I stayed
and so alone I stayed
in solitude prayed
and so alone I stayed


it took everything in me to place my fingers on your back
I offered it all up for that
only to realize that my hand was yours
touching
my old bones in your back
