invisible wounds
Scars that dig in deep
I carry them within
a battle that never ends..
hopeful yet struggling
Hold me tight
I won’t give in to the fright..
immersed in the beauty
that keeps
giving
reaching out
calling me
Drawing me
To a new light
an atmosphere so bright
I’m no longer buried alive..
flushed cheeks
tears staining her soft skin
eyes bright with anticipation
so many changes making her weak..
yet deep within she grows
with each new wound
flesh is sown
with each word
you resonate within her mind..
give her your coldest shoulder to cry upon
it’s where she longs to be..
destinies shaped and forming
she has no more of a choice
in following this path
as it goes from here to there
than a swirl of ashes floating aimlessly without a care to its’ end..
She eats and waits to be eaten..
pictures scattered about
tattered edges worn out..
days of old
depicting moments filled with hope..
memories golden
hearts of steel
sweet dreams
somehow torn apart at the seams..
sweet and heady
made me feel unsteady
It’s okay you know
to rid your mind of all of me..
but keep the photos
it’s all that’s left
One day
time will be fine
it won’t claw at your heart..
I’ll never be gone
the footnote of us lives on..
surrender to new starts
let the clouds part..
black and blue
bruised by you
pounded by intense love..
look how we’ve grown
a parade of shades
coloring me up
in brightest of hues
I never knew..
wearing you is something so true
the link to my golden chain
worth all the rain
every step
every turn
every lesson learned
We are worth it all..
laying it down
we turned it around
closing up walls that bound us
to the halls of moments past..
there was no start
I see no end
wrapped in time
yours and mine..
do I go
trusting the unknown
do I stay
showing you the way..
frayed edges
parched souls
ruling us no more..
thoughts and hearts attentive
like never before
setting us free to roam
into the heart of our home..
no other way
you are my known..
I took a chance
lost in your dance
spinning round and round..
my feet hit the ground
I found myself open
freely believing in me..
Unreserved in my love for you
set me on a path I could never see..
tearing the skin off my bones
leaving the mess of me behind
I found my home..
