He struck me by surprise
With his piercing eyes,
Never say goodbyes,
A thin line never crossed,
But bent on my side,
Heavy in my hand,
It’s all under tongue,
Read the waste,
The pieces you left me,
To gather and bury,
When will I repeat your name,
No longer in vain.

Strip me bare,
Peel back all my layers,
When there’s nothing left,
There is only you,
my blood and bones,
wrapped around you,
listening for lightning,
waiting to strike me,
bring life alive in me,
determination to fill your empty pockets,
with pieces of me,
I have to give up and save myself,
Barren, I have become,
So weakened I must succumb.
I was hoping for a fairytale,
You can find me looking out the window,
A true skeptic,
Throwing wishes at the stars,
Perpetuate my convictions.

do feelings this strong dissipate?
after this long,
can one heart be replaced?
you seek me in dreams,
challenge me with the words I linger here for,
all my disappointments rise under the ice,
write me another letter,
send it telepathically,
steal away in the night,
i will tear open closure with my teeth,
love don't let go,
you choose mind over heart,
every safe decision,
leaves me an empty option,
placed with your discarded things.

I love my Nugs!
