cautiously I step
one foot in front of the other

steadily I traverse
around branches and up

through moments
until stars
fall
_________________________________________

slowly the door opens
drawing attention to its newly disturbed state
a dust covered tome see its first light in ages
the joy in exploration

_________________________________________

I lived for you
covered in sorrow
only for you
I stored my grief

I find myself
in love with tomorrow
away from you
I can finally breathe

_________________________________________

another moment gone
another day to dust
another song unsung
another night erupts
I seek to have no mind

_________________________________________

a willow at my back
at peace despite the scars
I claim this spot as mine
underneath the stars
I seek to have no mind

_________________________________________

radiance
surrounding you
spreading outward
in waves of pure feeling
captivating me
spellbound
and speechless

_________________________________________

snared
caught in this endless ache
confused by this illusion
tortured by my life in this form
tears of innocence weigh heavy on my heart

_________________________________________

I go now to become legend
to write my name upon your soul
to feel my heart raging fiercely
facing demons you control
