“I let go so long ago. I fear I have forgotten how to hold on.”

You broke my skin and seeped into my soul.

I fell in love with copies of an original I lost long ago.

If clouds did not move how could we see the sun?

I am still looking for a soft heart in the eyes of a someone. A wild and innocent soul. Always breathless to take in a new horizon. Someone who is waiting to drive into the night and wants me to join them.

In this wilderness, Mankind is the animal I fear.

I know how our fingers would interlace. Like this and that. Delicate yet determined. As porcelain scales in serene movements. Iridescent in ways our thoughts could not convey. How beautifully we are made in the ways we trace out along soft skins the words that linger within us.

Eternity is vague. Let me fill in the blanks with you.

All this time I have been masquerading as a soul complete.

Under the shadow of your skin, I find ancient secrets. They are now the truths I crave.

It is hard to befool a fool who has already been fooled so many times.

A moment’s beginning ends in a moment

Patience is to wait for the ice to melt instead of breaking it.

We are strangers again. And what a beautiful thing that is.

Your name suffocates me.

The cold consumes me. The oceans in my eyes freeze. It’s 2 AM and I can’t move. Your loss is too much to bear.

What’s enough really? I just wonder if I’ll ever stop breaking.

Love me or hate me, I promise it won’t make or break me.
