I know you're there.
Deep in my bones,
I can feel you.
You're a written scripture,
On the ancient DNA,
Of my body of flesh, bones,
And impermanence.
It permeates,
Into any existence,
Where you and I,
Have hearts,
That beat.
I see now,
That I had to have it all,
Taken away.
Peeled back.
Removed.
So that all that was left,
Was me.
I never needed you.
You have an outdated version
Of me in your head.
And that's fine.
But I can't lie,
I'm pretty heartbroken,
That you'd leave me behind,
This time.
I thought you understood.
I guess...
I thought I knew you better.
I don't want to keep you.
I don't have a reason to.
Time and time again,
Your the constant,
That I always knew.
That simple kind of love,
That I never had to try to do.
But my trust in this truth...
This time - I handed you.
Of all the things I've had to let go,
You were the last.
And when you turned your back,
It was clear -
There really isn't,
Anyone,
To trust here.
And I don't mean that,
In some sad, bitter way.
I mean it to say...
I trust no one but me,
And what a beautiful scene.
My crystalline heart is,
No longer in hands that,
Bring me to places,
Too far from myself.
I am the only one that holds me.
This is how I'm meant to be.
More sure than I've ever been.
I've never felt more free.
But it's a funny thing,
That even though,
you can't be seen...
I can still feel you.
Deep in my bones.
