Oh God, You're really so big and I am so small
You're everything and I am nothing much at all.
Yet I exist it does seem, though only in relation
to this fantastic dream, which is Your Creation.

Somehow I ended up callused and jaded from tending these long burnt out flames. Cold ashes with a metallic flavor that leaves my nose bleeding and my mouth dry.
My world swirled with dark greys and pale purples.
I was on my knees cursing at the thunderstorms above me and swatting at the laughing hyenas circling me.
My heart wanted me dead...
Then there was you.
You became my sparkle of gold, my jewel in the mist.
I saw you like a guiding light and I sought you out amidst the rubble of my soul. Your glistening eyes, your honeyed lips, all the sweetness in your lavender heart.
It doesn't matter the mistakes we made together. We made them together and touched one another's heart.
We felt the scars we had...
*And there was no shame.
