Inner Turmoil

Inner Turmoil

I feel you so close now and have to fight back the urge to reach out
In my heart and mind, I can feel you calling out to me
My head and heart swirling with the inner turmoil of what is possible

The cascade of feelings surrounds me and causes me to shudder
So much I want to do, but not wanting to open myself to the pain once more
The agony of needing you but being unable to break free of the past

A single step and even the smallest gesture can make me smile
Words not spoken but seen are enough for me to know
You are still there and that something remains within both of us
