Asking for a friend...
what if inquiry were much easier
what if people listened
what if we weren't frozen from fear
the words sticking
on our chapped lifeless lips
unable to find the vocal means in which
to express
unhindered, unobstructed
by an inner fear
of ridicule...rejection...or just a moment
of reluctance
a simple inquiry I believe
should not silence one's begging heart
a question of importance
that falls deftly
settling in the stomach acid
with dire consequences
never coming to light becomes detrimental
I am asking for a friend.
Is love capable
does it have the skills
of survival
in the absence of dissection
does love merely fade into the distance
a ball rolling downhill
over rocks beyond one's desire
to retrieve it.
I am asking for a friend.
