Afraid

Of giving everything

And ending with

Nothing.

Afraid

Of longing profusely

Only to experience

Nothing.

Hopeful

I will have

Courage and experience

Something.

Hopeful

Surrendering my everything

Will lead to

Something....

Why must everyone run and hide?

Don’t you see my beauty?

How delicately I land

On the plants you need to breathe?

You are frightened of me,

And so you stay inside,

Listening to the soft drumming on the ceiling

Until it is no more....

Words. I can’t seem to find them whenever I write about you.

But I will try. I need to so that our souls can start anew.

You never loved me. I’m starting to lose my love for you now.

But there was a time when I loved you more than words can allow.

A time I’d write your stories down so my heart wouldn’t forget,

A time I’d worry over all the people I viewed as threats.

Foolish, naive, lost. That I ...

Precious, loving time has passed and shall never return

Wishing I could stop the fire that continues to burn

Yet I still fall in love with the smoky, hopeful flames

The warm sparks embrace my tinted heart and call my name

My soul has suffered far too much to get burned once more

It has taken seasons for the scars to heal and soar

Above everything that made it wail for a long time

I would never be...
