She laid landmines in my skull that detonated weeks later*.

I wanted to take my letters back
Unravel the words I'd left
Draped around your neck.

Hold my hand.

Let's run through the fields of regret.

Please do not think I will run from your anxieties.
In fact I will do entirely the opposite.
I will open the door,
I will invite them in,
And I will stand there, strong, steadfast, stouthearted
And I will stare them in the face.
Not for you, but with you, hand in hand.
I will be there at the end of the day to tell you you're amazing.
And that all those things you think make you weak, prove just how strong you are.
I'm not saying we'll move mountains together, I am telling you that despite the rain, the sunshine, the rocky terrain, the laughter, the tears, the heartache, the pain, I will be here, time and time again.
To remind you
That every time you walk into a room, you don't just light it up,
You set it on fire.

I won't ever stop trying to build bridges over the canyons in your soul.

I'll make masterpieces out of you, if only you'll let me.

How many times can I cut myself in syllables and bleed in sentences?
Hayleigh Dec 2016
She melts in between my lips
With the urgency and beauty
Of snowflakes on fingertips.
