Gritting Teeth

My feet are pacing back and forth
Fingers clutching the temples of my head
Sweaty palms running across my dress
Wanting to tell you all that I felt
When you were gone and fell silent
As if you are being more than absent
It's like I am on the verge of losing
Unsure if you still held the end of the rope
My lungs are panting and I choke
At the unsaid words of hurt and love
I don't know if I should
Point my fingers at you and scream
Or collapse, surrendered on the floor
Wishing your arms were here.
