I feel the cool breeze
dance across my shoulders
and wisp through my hair
welcome at first-
sending a shiver down my spine
not unwanted, but shocking

A break from the saturated heat
nature plays a joke on us all
keeping us on our toes
and flexible to change-
a good lesson to be learned
the lovely winter in June

There is this look that you get,
And I can tell you are taking it all in
Every element all at once

Every particle of the universe,
At your fingertips
Awaiting your exploration

I want to discover,
The hidden secrets
Of our existence, with you.

Its a devastating blow
once you give in to that part of yourself
when you finally lose the fight,
and its almost not worth the effort at all,
yet here we are again

No matter the guards
I arm around myself
you always find a way,
to pierce my skin,
and open a vein

I stitch myself back together
after carving you in
just to prove I could survive,
but the worst things that happen,
always leave their mark

This is the year I fell out of love
I chased myself away
From anyone who wanted to help
Because no one could help-

I let myself be broken
And I cut everyone else out
And I let myself feel lonely
Because I knew I needed it

I needed to be
With myself
So I could again
Be with someone else-

I needed to feel empty
So I could fill myself back up
