I wish I knew how to tell you everything,
The chaos in my head that has yet to even for a moment stop running,
As if to forever hide from me in the deepest tracks of my mind.
And I regret now that not even one piece of clarity I have been able to find.

And as these words stumble across these pages,
I can only hope that the changing tides confusing who I am will soon subsist.
I admit that your ears were the only ones that offered to listen,
And I can blame only myself for these fallen tears and this heart that glistens.

I’m only scared because the love I left not so very long ago,
Has left me drowning in a well so deep, and I have never felt so low.
Alone, abandoned by a distant land,
Whose winds have long since cleared the tracks I left imprinted in the sand,
A tragedy for which I had not planned,
For in this place has there my heart been left to stand.

Still; no warmth, no chill,
An emptiness that grows despite how desperately its depths I wish to fill.
I seek but to live, to be,
In a place where can be found that bliss and harmony,
Together - you and me.

I am aware that where my soul now plants its roots,
May or may not yield any type of fruit,
A risk it may be called by some indeed,
But on my own terms into this ground must I invest this seed.

And with love and time may it bloom, may it grow,
To the world before this moment I have yet to show,
A piece, a part, a whole of me that even now myself I do not know,
A beauty to sow; a memory to reap and forever stow.

With the treasures of the past, and the promise of what now is real.
Though love and light from me it took to steal,
This brief encounter at least has shown me I know how to feel.
