Desire needs no concrete thing to cling to
it slips through cloudy memories
like garishly painted pink snakes
Dripping down like nectar from a forbidden flower
But Hope rises like a tower
Shiny and confident
It leaps to pierce a dark sky
Letting light into my mind
Lending strength to unused muscles
Adding bright and cheery music
to two words
Alone
and
Free
it slips through cloudy memories
like garishly painted pink snakes
Dripping down like nectar from a forbidden flower
But Hope rises like a tower
Shiny and confident
It leaps to pierce a dark sky
Letting light into my mind
Lending strength to unused muscles
Adding bright and cheery music
to two words
Alone
and
Free
I'm learning to really appreciate being single now. I understand that I don't need a husband, I don't need a romantic relationship, to get to where I want to be. My eyes are more open to my own strength and value as a single human being, and I don't find myself lacking too much love without a lover. I'm full of hope for my future
