Poem III
Let go of your past, the present is your opportunity to flourish daring.
The Lie
Had I known
The moon would be the last of you
I would have opened my eyes to the stars
Reassurance was necessity
Distance was my struggle
I brought you down with me
I can’t believe I bared it at all
I tried to speak up
You wanted time to speed
I wanted to go slow
But you always told me no
I say okay,
My feelings for you are strong
You look in my eyes
You say the same
We build trust
A crumbling wall
Destroyed by false hope
My heart shatters
How dare you
Bestow hate in my veins
My blood is heated
But I’m breathing
My skin is cold
My feet won’t move
But LA calls
And the rocks, they move
My faith is weak
I must grow
Bloom into me
Without you forever
Always in my heart
To infinity and much more
Lies
It’s always lies
