Lately,
I think of words as air
That chant sparks into flames.

Violent pyres- if you abuse.
Or a tamed Medusa- if you peruse.

Surely,
It would put the mind at ease
To expire and water these flames.

A warning, nay comes with a beacon
Intuition with your saliva may weaken.

Tell me what’s the point in trying
when no one seems to see,
What’s the point in listening
when no one speaks to me?

Why am I standing at your door
knowing you won’t open it
Why do I try to get your love
knowing there’s not left a bit?

I’m aware I should stop hoping
cause I put my dreams too high
I’m aware I’ll have to stay on earth
cause I’m not made to fly
Boundless the capabilities
Limiting the limitations
Step towards boundless self
Small steps, steady and sure

You held my trembling hands, you hugged me tight
When I couldn’t feel and was so numb
You carried me throughout these sleepless nights

In my own chaotic mess that I’m trapped
I begged you to unsee what I’ve become
You held my trembling hands, you hugged me tight

I drowned in the dark secrets of my heart
Like a child, you cradled me in your arms
You carried me throughout these sleepless nights

I’ve spent years of dreaming on lonely nights
In this prison cell that I’d like to burn
You held my trembling hands, you hugged me tight

It felt so untrue but it seemed so right
You healed the turbulence beneath my skin
You carried me throughout these sleepless nights

Though my life presented a dreadful sight
An ugly past I’ve tried to leave behind
You held my trembling hands, you hugged me tight
You carried me throughout these sleepless nights
