Wandering

Walking the streets wondering where
That something may be...
Looking in the mirror wondering what
That emptiness may be...
The laughter that lights up your days
Hides the silences that drench my nights.
You ask me for life?
Ask me what I have to give.
Walking, running, jumping --
Closed in, protecting;
Words churning, eyes burning,
Walking the streets
Wandering, wondering.
