An Error in JudgementI should falterAn Error in Judgement8 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
I should walk on water
I should crawl back into the sand
From which I was born
I should laugh some
I should cry much
I should feel what others feel
But I'm untouched
If you knew me
You would hold me
And rock me to a safe place
For me is unknown
But I ask for nothing
No returning to me
All of which I can not have
Or possibly own
For I am sadness
And I am pain
I am the tendon of life
That's been severely strained
For I am human
I am but an echo
Of the words one can not say
Of the love one can not show
For I am but a shadow
Of your heart content
With the fervor of desperation
I should be your silence
