“Wait”, she never said
“Stop”, she would not utter
“Heed”, she hoped to never have to ask for
“Understand”, can never be a request
“Befriend”, should never be a plea
“Hold”, can never be a command
“Reaching out”, should never be a drag
nor should “walking away” be a brag
“Lead”is a call from within
“Heal”is what hearts do ideally, well! sometimes!

I like this poem, like there’s a conversation in each line, what a nice way to express your emotions.

I’m learning to recognise and appreciate your unique style: compact elliptical bits of wisdom or complaint — self-talk disguised as fictional dialogue– ending with a surprising switch into everyday phrases which make the poem seem even more more real, more true.
(Don’t mean that I read only for literary qualities. I just like good writing, long or short, talk or song, memories or stories. Its pleasing to find such.)
