I gave my heart to you

But I never shared the news

I let you think it was still mine

To give to whom I choose.

You asked if I could think of ways

To find my soul’s true mate

When all the time my heart was thine

Pretending it was fate.

Can you forgive me now you know

Could we make up lost time?

Or has the time for love flown past

Our hearts’ great wish denied?...

You make it easy

To imagine life with you

I never want to

Dream our worlds apart again

Take the easy path with me....

You were here.

I could feel you

Sense the flash of your light

Before the crash of your thunder

The heat of your flame

Melting the ice of my heart,

A glacial relic since you left....

If given the chance

You would leave me behind

Not a slight backward glance

Nor a note left to find.

Should opportunity arise

You’d desert me again

Leave my watering eyes

Spilling into my hand.

When the option appears

You know you won’t stay

Confirm all my fears

By you leaving this way.

You’ve always been free to follow your heart

But if I’m not included it’s best we now part....

Of the things I need most from love

Doubt is what I need least from love.

When standing beside you with others close

I need never to question or mistrust your love.

If my hand covers yours in a moment of hope

You’ll have mine forever along with my love.

Would you come back to me, arms outstretched

Give me time for my heart to remember our love?

Poured out from my chest and left in an urn...

I thought

Then rethought

Then I thought again

This time deeper

And longer

Nails dug right in

Sunk into our mouths

Until words become flesh

Flayed open

Left broken

Wounds bare on our chest.

Then you thought

That I thought

That you thought not at all

About pain and misjudgment

Never would call

Oh my heart

Now it flutters

With love and withdrawal

For your thought

And my thought

Weren’t the same a...

Neglected.

Unprotected.

Not being believed.

Chin up’d.

Shut up.

Unable to grieve.

Silenced.

Violenced.

Pressed to the wall.

Rushed.

Crushed.

Must run, can’t crawl.

If you want to know how a villain is born,

Ask them how often they chose their own verbs....

Leaves on the ground around my feet

Wind whips round and through my bones

Takes my breath and chills the stones

That line this quiet empty street.

Those sunny days no longer greet

Me as walking, quiet and alone,

I think on how I shall atone

For sins committed when life was sweet.

My heart believes the death of warmth

Will cleanse my soul of shame and grief

But I know my heart’s true wish:

To b...

Leave your cares at the door

Shed the mask you wear

Come home to my heart

Here we are, we are here.

Quiet your mind with me

Drop the armor to the floor

Rest your head on my chest

You are here, I am too.

Slow your heartbeat down for me

Let your body melt into the bed

Take my hand and bring me down

We are one, you and me....
