Never dreamed
I'd be idling here
Like a turbo charged engine
full of power
Ready to sprint
at the sound
of the gun
Balancing act
On the edge
I say,
I am...
Tell me to step back
Hard to do
on a razors edge
Pain of wings
growing out my back
Ready to take
to flight
To breathe fresh air
and freedom
To soar again
Self imprisonment
The soul restrained
Trying to hold
to things which
I thought I knew
This pain lingers
only because I let it
Fire and Ice
flows through
the veins
of the betrayed
The played
Soon capillaries
explode into nothing
Save me
from me
From all that ails
and seems to impale
my infarcted heart
My savior is now...
My demon

this is an awsome write..this stanza hit closest to home for me: "Self imprisonment
The soul restrained
Trying to hold
to things which
I thought I knew
This pain lingers
only because I let it"

Sis,
first of all I am so glad we talked lastnight.
I feel your heart, your words so deeply.
The expression of such feelings so vivid and detailed in this write. I am always here.

This was beautiful! I especially loved the lines:
This pain lingers
only because I let it
It's so true of so many things, we hold on to what hurts us only because there is comfort there, at least we know this pain. Interesting.
Do take care,
David |
