 | As windy days sweep away all debris,
I am left feeling naked and cold;
something has changed now within me,
life rushes by quickly and briskly,
I am awake and I am growing old.
A desert of destruction barren and bare,
my soul is troubled and torn,
comfort cannot be found anywhere.
Ashamed of what I am becoming,
Helpless and forlorn.
Clinging to the flimsy branches ,
My words hollow spoken in anger and fear,
seek to break and destroy,
to many chances,
from the one I hold most dear.
My integrity wavers ,
as with the gusts of my breath,
jealousy rages in explosive behavior,
my heart pounding in the cavity of my chest;
He has already left.
Seeker of atonement,
tread carefully your next step
listen his heart barely beating,
loudly it laments,
his touch withdrawn from your grip.
Stolen glances in your direction
hope opens a door in his soul
knowing that home resides inside my heart.
fear dissolved without detection,
history and love will not be ripped apart.
Into my eyes he smiles hello as if he’d never left. |  |
