Regardless of where
This journey
Takes me
I can't help
But stumble
And sink
Downward to the ground
They say,
What goes up
Must come down
It happens
Again and again
Spinning me
Around and around
When will
This dreadful dance
Finally come to an end?

This is none
Of my business
But you've made me
A witness.

I'll wait for my time
Till you want to be mine
Left untouched
I fall from the vine
Left to decay
Nourishing the soil
For someone
More to your taste.

Cupped in my hands
I place her on the sand
A girl I'd carried
For so long
So long
Had I ignored her
So long
Had I put others first
So long
She screamed
She sobbed
Needing to be heard
It's been
Too long
Since I've listened
To myself.

We're all aware
That we shouldn't
Hold anyone captive
But people choose to
For their personal gain
I won't be one of them
At times,
I wish I was
To have security
In the knowledge
That you can't leave
But you're not
Planning to go
Nor am I
You're my person
And I'm yours.

Getting through each day
With my watered-down hope
Watching as it falls into pieces
Then trying to reassemble it
But I can't seem to escape
The damp phase
So I continue
This paper mache.

This life has lead me to believe
Not everyone is going to stay
That I have to be ready
For when they leave
Take what people say
With a grain of salt
Because blind belief
And vulnerability
Could lead to assault
Prepare myself for all outcomes
Especially the unsavory kind
Maybe that's why I lost
My sweet tooth
Because I'm often
Left with a bitter taste
You've reawakened
My curiosity and innocence
When it comes to connection
Making up a bed of warm blankets
Soft words and support
You give me somewhere to lay down
I think this is a safe place
To stay.

We're driving on a gravel road
With a few dips in the dirt,
Bouncing around
And holding on for support.
Once we hit the pavement again,
Our shoulders drop in relief
And we laugh together
About the bumpy ride.

You're watching over me
As I leap and bound
From one square to the next
Smiling and laughing
Along with me
As I step on the lines
But never cross them
Hip hop
I hope this doesn't stop.

Similarities between
Myself and yourself
Yet there are unique touches
And personalized embellishments
To call ourselves home
I think,
You're my second home.
