Here I Lay

Here I Lay

By Annette Camp

October 17, 2024

It runs deep.

It's in my

bones and

the core of

my being.

It's on my

face. It's 

in my hugs.

Yet, I remain

in silence.

I want to be

at her side

as she moves

through life, to

hold her hand.

I wait to

hear her

voice and

see her eyes

once again.

She's trapped

in my head 

and my heart.

She has to

know this.

But here I

lay with my

love for her

unspoken. 

Yet, undenied.
