yesterday <br />a tear caught <br />the sun [whole] <br />[and] rolled down <br />your cheek [tumbling] <br />as we drove <br />[at speed] along <br />the M31 <br />transfixed in that <br />moment [etched] <br />now in my mind <br />[immortalised] <br />in my heart <br />sealed [memory] <br />that tenderest of <br />trysts [our secret] <br />as you bared your <br />deepest groanings <br />[longing] <br />mourning <br />your greatest loss <br />this side of heaven <br />as I wiped [with fingertips] <br />wetness [touched] <br />from your face <br />I could be no <br />more nearer you <br />beside you [offering] <br />devout friendship <br />you are my friend <br />caught in that moment <br />what strangeness <br />of having little else <br />to give other than be <br />by your side [always] <br />no wise words to speak <br />no comfort to unworded <br />dissolution <br />but to keep a steady hand <br />on the wheel and drive <br />toward the rest of our lives <br />the music blaring and <br />our chests heaving <br />[why is it that when <br />your friend's heart breaks <br />your heart breaks along? ] <br />horizon receding, re-emerging <br />until i pull the handbrake <br />in front of your house [and stop]<br /><br />Frederick Kesner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-unspoken-3/
