Ebbing into simple, sardonic
nothings...
these moments taking up so much
of me.
So many screams,
cries,
so many wasted worries
landing on already rocky ground
and baby, did I loose my feeble
footing.
Going so ungracefully into
the depths of human
despair...
Pouring salt into the burning wound,
empty holes in my untamed skin...
my intrepid heart -
stay strong.
This is what you do to me,
Breaking me down, barrier by barrier
til even I, don't recognize the tears
falling down,
the salt strange in my gasping breath...
How does one so independent
and strong,
How do I fall so helplessly into the arms of my
imperfect angel?
The God-sent human to turn every dream
every moment
into a deep, constant yearning
for the presence of one not there...
Every sleepless hour
a dream in the waking of being held
til dawn.
Take me me down paths I never wished
to tread again,
stripping me of every moment that made me
untouchable...
the untouchable woman that no one
understands.
Yet, here I am, naked, unsheathed
utterly, completely
aware of every, single
imperfection in my self -conscious eyes...
look at what you do to me.
This is love,
so, incomprehensible,
and yet, I can never imagine my life without it...
