Us Poem by chris dawson

I often have a want
A need
A desire to write for you
About you

I write of so many things
In so many ways
The words come easily to me
Many more visit and leave me each day

But I just can’t start
Can’t even think of where to begin
There isn’t one word that can begin
to reflect who you are to me
What you mean to me
How I feel about you

So words feel too light
Empty even
That’s if I could ever put these feelings into words

I’ve used ‘love’ a thousand times
Does it still have weight
Impact
For me now it’s not big enough
More for passing moments
Instants
There for reassurance

But if I really want to express
Really want to instil in you my feelings
Then I’m lost
Totally lost
Totally lost in you
In me
In us.
