I came to you with a heart full of knowledge of the fact that I wanted to be challenged by you
I could not have imagined the depth of emptiness you filled without knowing it there
The peace that captured my heart was imaginable  in this time where I had given up on the hope of safety
I did not have butterflies cause there was assurance of the love in your touch,  actions and words
This was so effortless like I had thought it would be and yet felt a dream

You don't have the strength to turn Brace yourself Look up There's no sun Sometimes I don't fully get it Sometimes I think they do We keep spinning Walking past each other Running past each other We just don't know why we need to be together Understand each other Scream to be free Then, it goes silent We keep it all in And when the world literally shakes We point fingers at who is to blame Turn around there's no one there See the faults Solve the problem It's been you It's been me all along Must anyone be at fault?

Beginnings

I was affected in such a short period of time not knowing what this was The fear alone knowing that I could shutter but letting go anyway Beating in am unimaginable rhythm my heart once cold you came with a rush The withdrawal symptoms of the drug I no longer take Amidst the tears and unruly laughter still is the heaving uneven rhythm Sound that's now so loud it deafening Trying desperately to control the breath My limbs are dead That feeling when you can see the storm and know it is time Running away in your dreams and visions In reality the compact of the pain is so compounded with no lifts available to set free Hush...
