tonight he saw me
with familiar eyes
with gentle smiles

tonight he made me remember
times that have long been past
to forget our recent clash

tonight he saw me
with his heart
he touched me
with nothing felt

perhaps the healing is occurring
and the screaming is fading
perhaps i am mistaken something
if not everything at all

be careful of comfort
of security from the old
be careful not to return
to times made of lonely holes
