Colleen’s Weekly #Poetry Challenge…

#TankaTuesday Weekly #Poetry Challenge No. 326, 6/27/23

This week the words to choose synonyms for are ; 

Close & Open 

Near
to you
I feel your
breath on my neck
I am undone, lost
my world is now crowded
the tightness around my heart
squeezing the air from my body
why did I let you go, shut the door?
think how we used to be when love held us…
