  Aug 2019 The Untold
Ash
Will I ever be enough?
In a world that praises perfection
Will I ever be what you want?
With every flaw I have
And every bleeding scar
Would you take me as a whole?
Would you water this dying flower?
Would you make me bloom?

In the way you look I saw misery
In every touch i felt the warmth
You cant be this cold inside
I saw the love in your eyes
Why wont you surrender to me
I can be everything you need
Just give me the word I seek
I’m by your side, I’d never leave
For all the love I have, its yours to keep
Cause I just cant be a fool
Who gave up her forever dream

The poet lives two lives.
One on the outside,
And one in their mind.

When you look in their eyes
You could see an abyss.

If you looked long enough
You could sink into it.

But most people don’t see it.

Take the time to read the words, though,
And you would know for sure.

The poet lives in two different worlds.
A little escape from the madness.
Or maybe, into.

You will resurrect
from the ruins of memory
and speak in the deepest night to me:
all that had been was pure glory.

We will recollect
scenes that spoke of love's endless beauty
let the years flee as they must into every century
yet our hearts shall still be green and free.
* after Shelley, Christina Rossetti and the Bronte sisters'
