The empty stage

The faint but labored breathing echoed through the empty stadium.

I wanted to hug you

To run to you

and bury your head in my shoulder.

To whisper in your ears

not word of encouragement

not words of criticism

but words you always wanted to hear

  that you did it.

You made it to the top.

But...........was it the faraway look in your eyes enough to tell

  that you were missing something.

That you were not satisfied.

I watched as tears ripped through the empty stadium

you alone one the stage.

I saw as you gripped the microphone in your head .

Knuckles white as snow.

I recalled how those lips trembled as you tried to hide it ...............

Those lips that told haters to do what they want

and let fate fuck them over

those lips that told the world the hardship of lonelines

acceptance from your parents

and love......

Those fingers that flipped off those who wanted to ruined you

damage your already damaged heart

those fingers that ran across the keys of your first love

Those fingers that griped the only thing

standing between you and the world

those same fingers along with this arms

that hold me at night

caress me with until you fell asleep

But it was never perfect.............
