while you retreat into yourself, <br />i make some coffee, then put on <br />some music, and wait for your <br />return, still i find love in these <br />sad moments, and a lover whos <br />always afraid of being alone, <br /> <br />what did your dad do to you, <br />and is this why you keep a <br />night light on, even after all <br />these years, you cry and slowly <br />break, then fade into a small space. <br /> <br />then you call my name, and i hold <br />you tight..for in these arms you are <br />always safe.<br /><br />DAVID GERARDINO<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/while-you-retreat-into-yourself/
