Member Poem

Somewhere
Between dreaming
And waking
Between fantasy
And reality
Between abstract
And concrete
Between what if
And what is
This is
Where
You’ll find me
The line
Is so
Blurry
That
I
Can convince
Myself
That you
Are really
Beside me
That
The blankets
Tangled
About
My legs
My body
Wrapped
Around my waist
I
Can convince
Myself
That
It is you
I find myself
In a place
Of possibilities
In a place
More
Tangible
Than a dream
Yet
More
Metaphysical
Than reality
A place
Where
You
Are still here
Still breathing
Still whole
Where
We
Can be
Together
In this realm
Not the next
Where
I
Am not
A shell
Of the girl
That you
Once
Loved
Where
I do not
Have to write
You poetry
Compulsively
Because
My
Words
Will
Never
Reach
Your
Ears
Where
I can tell you
How beautiful
You look
Today
With my voice
Where
You still
Tell me
That
You love me
In this place
You are still
My best friend
My confidante
My lover
In this place
I whisper
I miss you
My lips
Brushing
Your ear
Instead
Of cold stone
Threading
My fingers
Into your hair
Instead
Of the grass
In this place
I bury
My insecurity
My fear
My doubt
My nightmares
But
I do not
Bury
You
