The Chase

“My body is a cage that keeps me from dancing with the one I love.”

Don’t fear your enslaving cage, unlock your heart and I’ll dance with you.

 

“Maybe next time we’ll make room to let love in…I can only imagine.”

Love needs no room. It expands into the deepest crevasses of our hearts and infiltrates our souls.

 

“I’ve super glued my wounds together and forgotten how to feel.”

Numbness is deceitful, its glue can only hold for so long.

 

“By the time the glue has worn away and feelings are able to seep through, all the joy and faith that try to flow through will be demolished by pain and lies…the devil uses love like his temptress.”

Pain is victorious only in solitude. Together we can break through its restraints and run free into the night, chasing each others' silhouettes in the moonlight.
