I write because I’m trapped inside my mind
The words circle around before I can forget them
One after another
Can’t always tell them apart
They tear me apart

All of which I could have said
Buried with the bones of what could have been
Heavy on my heart I sink
I come up for air only to find you unaware
Yet again
Sailing away because I’m too afraid to anchor
Rock steady with your love buried

Uprooting what it once was
Turning over the stagnant soil
Planting a seed each time we fall in love with other

Of me you take hold, my most vulnerable elements.
Leaving behind your irrevocable trace.
Petrified I am, of falling at the precise moment in which you commence to walk away.
Scars and voids being all that remain, ones I could never begin to fill again.
Terrified I am, of your perfection.
The way you break down walls, walls which I have so vigorously attempted to build.
Awakening countless monsters in me, yet I lie enraptured by the power you hold to cease them.
Around you all my guards are down.

Petrified I am. Terrified I am.

Vulnerable.
