Therapy

Poetry is my Therapy

It's where I can process my pain and spread out my tears

Over so many words, pain from so many years

I hate to address it, Or let my past twist me.

But the more I push past it, the more its convincing,

My heart that it's broken, my mind that it's small

I am not worthy, of the love that we fall -for

Truth be told, you're my second crawl - for

that first love that crushed me, before he had hushed me

Silenced all that I could be, or could Have been.

I am not worthy to think that I can Be.

I write to apologize, and then to remember

I swoon for you and break for you

I bend for you and mend for you

Because I trust that my love is safe, with you

I know that it's heavy - my heart in my chest

I hope that it's lighter, when laid in yours, for rest

I'm sorry if it hurts, every time that we kiss

And I'm sorry for all of the beats that its missed.

If my tears touch your cheek, I'll wipe them away

But I still need you close, please would you stay?

Could you hold my hands, in the palms of your own,

and wait with me longer - don't leave me alone.
