Love Poem: Move

Written by: Tracy Decker

Move

nothing comes
crashing down
at the sound of your voice
but it’s
motionless
that really stands out

thoughts that 
fly 
commotion
in your absence
are standstill silent
when you appear
wings that 
simply
stop
beating

heart race
ends
ten feet from the finish line
breathless
losing is fine
as long as
I
don’t 
move
because any action
could scare you
away
any contact broken
could be the
best time
any glance forsaken
could be my
only 
chance

run through my 
sentences
paused
run down these
hallways
blurred
run from these
thoughts
waiting
just 
to
move
