Sometimes the blind
Lead the wide eyed,
Even in darkness
And glimmering light,
Our hearts skip once
For echoes to show -
hiding in shadows
when love starts to grow,
I’ll whisk you up -
Intertwining
The cyclone of love.

I am stained

Stained by the past
Stained by my desires
Stained by my failures
Stained by my broken dreams
Stained by what could have been
Stained by "what if"

The tears that fall down my face are black ink
The trail of tears stain my cheeks
Sharp, painful, visible
Yet I am invisible

No one else can see my stains
My pains
My sins

But I see them everyday, every second
The mirrors curse my visage

I am stained

I am afraid to say sorry,
I am afraid to be soft.
For when I am hurt,
I become stone-cold.
I hold back my tears,
bite my lower lip from trembling
So you see no signs of weakness.
I become inhumane
And show you no weakness.
I'll ignore what you say
While it slowly breaks me from within.

Wish I said more,
More than small talk,
Just to open your door,
Walk where you walk.

Yes I was scared,
Extremely afraid.
Didn't want to care,
Of things they would say.

It’s true I panicked,
Instantly left.
But love’s never handed,
Or directly is sent.

You have to risk,
All that you know,
Facing its kin,
Accept what you’ve blown.

But now I realize,
I acted too quick.
But now I’ll be fine,
Now I’ll be swift.

No reflection is needed,
Just want you to know,
You’re who I’ve been feeling,
Just hope I can show,

That you are perfect,
To God and to me,
It’s been so worth it,
Being able to see,

You smile so wide,
Bright and so cute,
I hope you find,
Love exists for you.
Sorry I'm not strong enough... S.B. <3
