There are two truths
Mine and
Yours
And in between
There are years and years of
Lies

I saw the worst of myself in him,
I fell in love with my demons,
Now I miss them.

Listen to me now
I may say same words tomorrow
But not in the same way
Listen to them now
The cadence
The flow
Listen to them now
Their rhyming deep and low
Listen to my words
Beating deeper
Deeper
forever slow

you are so far from me
that i can feel the earth turn

Life is the burden of memory,
Forgetting is a gift of peace.

one day
I dream that I will have the eyes to
see the love that is right in front of me,
the spine to go and grab it,
and the heart to appreciate it for what it is

one day
I dream that I will have the courage to use my fear
instead of the other way around,
the intelligence to make my future bright,
and the imagination to not stop dreaming big
