Stealing songs
from right and wrong
enduring hunger
so I can be strong
enough to heal
enough to feel
my way around
this cavernous sound
an unhealthy pulse
driving me on
I'm so scared
can't see beyond
today's setting sun
It's over, isn't it?
I can't fix it
without breaking myself
Creating a hell
becoming a shell
Do I love enough of me
to give up the beauty
with whom I want to be?

This was about my internal struggle between my heart & my mind--emotions or intellect--to which do I be true? Which held the truth for me? My current relationship  was falling apart b/c I was in love with another woman...and I always was & would be. I chose security & comfort over passion, which felt freeing for a while. Then I realized I was a poet and ultimately, deeply, forever in love with another poet. I was living a lie.
