Dignity

My heart is broken,
it needs to mend.
The words, I’ve spoke,
it had to end…
but now I’m lonely,
I feel mislead.

I want to hold you,
And kiss your face.
I want to take pleasure in,
your sweet embrace.

I close my eyes,
and dream away…
this way I can have you,
this way you will stay.

How dare you tell me,
that you’ll never leave.
How dare you mock me,
and make me believe.

Those words you said,
ring in my ear,
they whisper softly,
“There’s nothing to fear”.

But now you’ve left me,
my dreams stayed behind,
my heart you kept,
this love has turned blind.

I’ll never tell you,
how much I hurt,
although it kills me,
although it hurts worse.

The pride inside me,
is all I’ve got left,
this fire inside me,
in the center of my chest.

So I’ll wrap up this message,
into a billion folds,
and lock it up tightly,
with silver and gold.

This way I can keep,
my heart from more wounds,
and keep it from turning,
that ugly, pale blue…

*This poem is dedicated to all of those who have survived a heartache, but chose to let love live… in hopes to receive all that you were promised “once upon a time”.

Hands

I hold your hand tightly
as we walk together,
I’m nervous I’ll loose you
and then stay lost forever.

You fill my fears
with visions of hope,
you kiss off my tears
when it’s too hard to cope.

You keep hold of my hand,
please don’t let go,
I’ll call you “my man”,
you are what I know.

Sometimes you ground me,
sometimes you don’t.
What matters is that you found me,
and rescued me on your boat.

An ocean of solitude,
a sea of distrust,
I love you with plentitude,
I see you as “luck”.

An ocean can take over
and cloud your true vision,
and make you see problems
too deep to swim in.

Then I hold your hand tighter,
you haven’t let go,
and then I remember
why I love you so.
