you ask unceasingly
for the warm crimson beating
hands outstretched
waiting

i keep him intertwined
with my comparative mind
unable
to go

he received everything
in return, promised a ring
i kept
in haste

you desire little
make loving truly simple
timid
i shake

he's but a memory
of failure and treachery
you are
neither

what keeps me breathing is
no longer considered his
i rip
it clean
For Cooper

I want to trust you with my whole heart... and I can't unless I give it fully. I have to let go of my past hurt and love. I can't compare you to him. I can't let my wounds and fear control me. I won't anymore. I trust you to take care of me like he never could. I trust you to never hurt me the way he did. I'm leaping. I'm giving it to you. Take it... it's yours.
