He said he couldn’t look into my eyes

Because he was afraid he would lose it.

(But Love, I would find you again)
"At first I didn't think I could handle
How deep you are.
-You're so incredibly deep.-
I wasn't sure if I should get involved.
But honestly,
It makes everything so much better,
And it's one of my favorite things
About you."
The leaves hover down
And lacy silhouettes,
Bold against lavender skies
Cradle the musty fall air.
Gentle hazel eyes
Crinkle up and reflect;
There’s nowhere
She’d rather be
But here.
The touch of his star-lit skin
upon her chest
was replaced by the crushing
weight of the moon.
Gap
Meaning (buried)

Listening (feigned)

Interpretation (twisted)

Understanding (an illusion)
one must learn,

time and time again,

to love oneself with
a gentle
and forgiving heart,

as you walk the path,
to enlightenment.
What the seamstress held,
Was still lacy, yet.
It was that from inside
her small frayed chest:
A heart, being stitched
With delicateness.
