Put yourself in that position
Turn around face yourself look in the mirror
Do to me what you feel, and after I've healed
I'll pick you up where you left me and take the time we salvaged to show you how compassion feels.
Insecure in her own trust
Wreaking of desire for comfort
I adhered to the faint whispers of her screams
"will you love me?"
simply in the wrong place at the wrong time
Walking through your garden, admiring your reflection in the sun,
the way you let wind flow w grace
Gently passing you by
I tripped on lust
And fell for a beast
Every blessing has a lesson
Disguised in beauty.
You taught me well, love w full aggression.
Now it's clear why the fires manifested.
Never once did I glance down
To inspect your nurturing , soil that produced such riches could never be so poor, as I thought.
That was our trend , assumptions.
Never looking at the root, never seeing through. Just constantly chasing trails of thoughts, catching dust from former droughts.
Dry and brittle, you.
I cared not that our foundation wasn't solid , I insisted on being the one to quench your thirst and fill your voids.
Spray a little here, drop some there
I mastered the art of sharing myself w your passion and fear.
But you know what consumes my entire being..
Genuinely LOVING you the way I do
Extending myself freely to you
Trusting you with my emotions
Investing time into you
Creating the unforgettable
Sharing the priceless
Attempting to satisfy your every need , carelessly losing myself in the process
with no complete certainty that I'm going to receive equal or lesser value than what I've given.
Satisfy my soul that's all I want you to do that's all I'll take from you.
I obviously asked of you too much bc instead , we drifted w the breeze that surrounded our meet. As if we never knew each other, leaving what we brought where we stood. This was our experience, no need to share , it's expired and serves no good.
Her quest for fulfillment continued, playing her game, rearranging her scene to entice those that fit her dream.
Following our departure , I too readjusted myself. Accepting that the things within me have made differences. Baring the seed of peace conceived in serenity, I would never reflect the same. Nor would I ever feel the innocence I felt gazing through her garden again
bc I now have my own to tend to. I have nothing to spare on our down fall. Cut me off and watch me blossom.
Welcomed to my garden are those of my heart. The kind that still manage to stay light in the dark.
... as the seasons change, I'll remain in solitude. swaying in love I may, but you will never catch my drift unless you plant seeds to grow w me.
Now , I say this w sincerity , will you love me ?
