Unspoken [Poem]

I am clenched teeth
and taut arms
braced
for the neglected times
in-between your touch
when no mere love song can possibly repair
seconds I am un-sewn
and I find myself watching your eyes
colors of the calm sea
for signs of a stirring wind
afraid of hating you for all the moments
you may dissappear
and you are out there
not looking back at me
