9 Crimes

With a deaf ear
He listens
With a blind heart
He feels
With a broken leg
He walks
With a grim smile
He talks
With empty movements
He hugs
With a failing mind
He understands
With a broken soul
He fights
With a guilt ridden body
He hurts
With shaking hands
He pulls the trigger

I know you

I know you
The way that you walk
With a slight swagger
Like you are trying to impress
The way that your eyes
Glimmer at the sight
Of the one that you love
I know you
The way that you speak
With a confidence unmatched
And words that seem to flow
The way that you smile
When you read my letters
Like it is warming your heart
I know you
The way that you kiss
Tender and loving
Like no one else can feel
Quite as good
I know you
The way that feel
Soft and gentle
Never harsh
And when I come to you
In the middle of the night
You hold my face in your hands
And wipe the tears away
With a cares of your thumb
I know you
Even though
We have never met
