Never and Always

Never and Always

There is never enough time

to tell you everything

the questions always come too late

and I am left waiting  

for another chance

"What do you want to ask me?"

Searching your face

disarmed by your gaze

I look away

The words seem to vanish

without an answer

only the beat of my heart

thundering, yet insignificant

a resounding ache...

There is never enough time

to shatter the silence

and I am always left wanting

and waiting

for another chance
