of rain
all night long
to wash away
the day before
and awake
old world

reasonable claims
outside my window
the sun rises
over the hills
the metro comes goes
carrying those inside
to and fro
while I wait
here inside
for the one
who will lay
reasonable claims
on my heart

for you
my arms
ache
unspoken love
images float
nightly
in around
the air
of you
always you
my unspoken
love
all that is left
half completed
sentences
all that is left
of my love

words spoken
left out
