So strong, once
Right where you found me, lost in a moment
Unbridled charm, relentless pursuit
A generous pour, raining down
All heart and soul, boundless in it's entirety
Breaking dams and flooding, a gentle mind
The truest love, a tragic misunderstanding
Weakness, living in the past
Right where you found me, lost in a moment
So strong, *once

From the first moment I met you I knew you were trouble
You entered my life like an apocalyptic meteor
Making yourself at home, rearranging everything to your liking
I was unprepared for your selfishness and in my haste to please
There was nothing I wouldn't do
I was constantly caught off guard by your seeming dissatisfaction with all that I did
Those cries of agony left me befuddled
And I’ll admit that I began to wonder how my life would be without you
But one day, after an eternity of torture, you smiled at me
And I knew that you were pleased
In that moment, time caught the wind and sailed away, and
Your clumsy little fingers left ink stains on my heart

Strung through the cracks in the light
Quietly lost in focus
Merciful pain, gently waning in the moonlight
She is the mother of all compassion, still
I am a suggestion of shame
Reflections of a pride-less nature
Competing with the profound intentions of loss
Secretly unworthy, learning of life’s lessons
Abyss wanderer, they say
Free of form and void
*Never letting go

An imagined love, has a mind of its own
It strives for life, giving breath unto itself
Masterfully weaving the silver threads of fantasy
Deep into the pockets of reality

You keep saying things like sweet and salty
Can you really taste this life
Will you take me out in the morning
I imagine you, waking up in a white room
White sheets, t’s and p’s
I can see you smiling as you stare out your window
Onto a thumb green forest, deep under cover, snow
