What You Make Me

Lust

Betraying my own soul

For you

Livid

Giving into anger

Don’t know what more to do

Soft

The feel of my heart

When it’s sitting in your hand

Liar

What you turn me into

When you don’t let me understand

I Need To Know You

Love ached.

It tore.

It burned.

It took every piece of me and never gave it back.

Lost and withered,

my soul searched for something.

Anything to let it breathe.

At least one more time.

I need to feel something.

Anything.

I need to know you again.

Let Me

Let me become your nebula

Let me atomize the love that’s me

Let me fill your head with wonder

A clouded future, a lock and key

Let me open myself up to you

Let me paint your dark profound

I promise if I’m given freedom

My true self will be unbound

Closure

The closure of my heart took work.

Many said I shouldn’t do it.

That being numb would be a shame and a sin.

But here I am.

Still able to care. To help. To now see things more clearly.

Like how closing my heart helped me escape you.

I would rather live in perseverance.

Not caged in a false and painful love.

You Are

You are my everything

From cloud cover on a burning hot day

To shelter from a devastating storm

You are my only

You are my lover

You are my happy tears

How Life Got Me

I need a break

A break from being exhausted

Hurt

And sad

A moment from being mind-drunk

Paralyzed

And mad

Angry at how life got me

How it treated me for show

I only need a moment

To keep going

To keep afloat

The Weaver of Light’s Gift of Forfeit

A weaver of light

Calls to the stars

Taking their essence one by one.

Cradling them,

She braids them to yarn,

Offering it to only the royal ones.

Listing by name

The gifts are each set

Bound to the lives of most fit.

But if they blink out,

Each royals’ dress,

Their life will forever be forfeit.

Devour My Recollection

Trail my worry

Follow my angst

So my fears won’t seize you

Understand my fury

Recognize my hate

So my loathe won’t pursue

Grasp my love

Devour my heart

So I will never escape

Steal my memories

Recollect my lore

Don’t make my same mistakes
