Perhaps if you stopped worshiping
the wise words of another,
you might, in fact, uncover
a wisdom within
yourself.

You could use your own words, you know...
Write your own poetry.
Your own lyrics.
Your own whatever.

If only you dared to lift your gaze
from the lines others have written before you.

Up until now
unseen, yet felt,
a soft glowing whisper
aligning the skin.

But now that I´ve seen it
I wonder -
does it know no shadow
or consumes them all?

And what does it say?
All white in its glory,
so gentle, yet bold
and wise beyond words.

Whole worlds hidden within,
gracing my soul,
my heart,
my being, just being.

Roman citizens,
romanticizing.

I pushed you away so many times.
The words
you wanted to hear all along...
I want to say them now.
Would it be too unfair?
I feel I might have missed my chance.
But you are the only thing
that makes sense right now.
The only thing
that made sense from the beginning.
Only I wasn´t able to see.
Pattern blinded.
Sight unable to reach
beyond fears
and insecurities.

Unconsciously or not
it was still a ****** thing to do.
I realize now
how much I hurt you.
I know you´ve probably already forgiven me
and I am in the process of forgiving myself.
This used to be a way of coping with my demons.
The only way I knew.
But I know better now.
For what it´s worth
I am sorry.

For the first time in my life
I felt like I was enough
I felt like a priority

For a time

Until something else came up
Something more interesting
and I just faded away in the past

Like I always do
