You desend in your confidence
A hot mess in an open valley,
The pivotal pixel in any image,
The negative to my dark room.
You demand to command
With your hands on my hips
Keeping me in your space
So that only eyes are in focus.
I saw a boy I once knew
But now a jaded soul
Has replaced a smile
That was once so comforting.
So much has been spent
With tiny pieces of heart
Every time that boy asked
I gave away so effortlessly.
Senses renewed
With the feel of his lips
But the heart crumbles
With memory of its losses.
I’ve given what I can give
Without interrupting its beats
Just learning new melodies
To the pieces that still fit.
This time a man claims
For my heart in my palms
But my fingers grow around it
Saving me from harm.
His heart has grown
With pieces of me,
But I am only a fraction
Of who I once could be.
(I would love some feedback!)
