Moments

It’s in moments like these
You don’t have the right words
Words to appease my heart
Strengthen my shaken soul

It’s in moments like these
You don’t understand me
My thoughts beyond yours
Foreign to your mind

It’s in moments like these
No longer the woman I was
Fear engulfing all confidence
Afraid to take the next step

It’s in moments like these
That I’ve lost my voice
No longer able to express
Unspoken becomes unknown

It’s in moments like these
You can’t read me and myself
Meaning behind the silence
Sense of loss in these eyes

It’s in moments like these
I wish I could hold you tight
Believe that it would be ok
Know I was safely home
