Shards of potential.

Choking on the fragment of a fantasy, I awake to an undeserved expectation  That moment where you wonder if what you felt was real.  It was piece of feeling, a shard of she.  A comfort in that familiar yet new collection of giddy hopes.  And as we sat, our minds entwined, I realized how much I missed a constant contact.  Starved for touch and blind to the outreach of help's caress.  Independence is a crutch, and self-sufficiency is scar tissue made by old wounds.  A heart not hard, just calloused - worn down, worn out.  The covering armor, stitched tight by a collection of sighs, must be removed if I'm to be released from the pressure of expectations.

Much of love is longing.  I just don't know her name yet.
