Holding Air (#2)

Holding my hand while your mind's eye wanders
Trappings of caring from habit not heart

Detached and alone though I sit here beside you
As we drift slowly but surely apart

So I wait vainly hoping that you will return
As this lapse buffets our burgeoning bond

And continue a vapid lighthearted soliloquy
Hoping some part of your mind/heart responds

Are you licking old wounds or finding a cure?
Are you running away or ensuring you're sure?

My nagging suspicion about this affair
Is to hold onto you is to hold onto air.
