Love Poem: Within Reach

Within Reach

Sunsets carried a promise 
looked behind my soul 
seen what had become
comfort in the coldness
peace behind the walls
safe from the pain of love
you reached for me

turning away
hiding in the shadows 
self centered aloneness
running from myself
stopped and looked 
behind me you waited

no one waited before
walls crumbled
shadows faded
i stopped running
comfort in the warmth
safe from the pain of love
your sunset is my promise
i reach for you.
