|| meadows for me ||

A meadow,
with weeds and daisies
and hearts easy to hold.

Sure,
the meadows have gentle breezes
and the eyes have a passing glance.

But the heaven this place exists on,
will never be wished away at a command.

My heart reaches for hers,
careful and considerate.

And although the heart extends back to mine,
the interaction is stopped in time.

Her heart can't hold mine,
a cage wraps around it and keeps it there.
It's not supposed to hold me.

(Even if it wants too.)

"It's not right."
...It's not fair...

Sure,
what I felt probably wasn't love
but,
it wasn't exactly the lack thereof.

Everytime I go back to that meadow,
my heart refuses to leave.

It wants to stay here,
and exist where the dreams lie.

As I close my eyes,
my heart is held,
by a hand I do not know.
With a name,
I have not spoken.

All that matters is that I can feel it,
the warmth
and
the love that I'd wished to be.

I hope to be loved one day,
But for now a dream will do.
