Reach Out

Each night I fight
As I try to write
My love for you
I sit alone and struggle
As I weigh each word and juggle
I crumple up my paper and start anew
My ink can only whisper
What my body wants to shout

Reach out
And touch me with your loving
Reach out
And show you really care
Give back
All I have to give you
Instead of backing off
And pretending I’m not there

Some days I die
As I try and try
To catch your eye
Can’t you see you make me crazy
How you treat me does amaze me
I only walk away and ask myself why
My every little action
Seems to stutter coming out

Reach out
And touch me with your loving
Reach out
And show you really care
Give back
All I have to give you
Instead of backing off
And pretending I’m not there
