Loaded mini vans.
Summer sun heats up the beach
Bare feet running fast.
Plunging down a hole,
of grief and total despair.
Faith breaks my fall.
Love breaks your heart.
As it has done from the start.
It tore us apart.
I need approval.
Since I was young with pigtails,
I've needed that stamp.
In an alternate reality,
we might’ve found each other.

Then again,
maybe we already have—
through the wavelength,
the careful tension,
the ripple effects
of the cosmos?

Just in silence.

I fear for myself.
More so, how I will react.
When you tell the truth.

I lie awake tonight,
Wishing of things I can change.
I try to convince myself,
But it's all so strange.

Is it me,
Or is it you?
Do I try,
Or are we through?

So long we've shared
Just to walk away.
But so much hurt
To want to stay.

Why do we do this,
Try to hurt the other more,
Only to watch one
Walk right out the door?

I love you so much,
Yet I push you to the point of breaking,
But why do you play with my heart
And never stop taking?

Is this the end
Or a new beginning?
Only one can guide me
When my head is spinning.

Don't push,
Don't try,
Don't stress,
Don't cry.

That is what plays
Over in my head
As I try to close my eyes
And just go to bed.

Love me tender.
Love me true.
Never let me go.
Just being a bit melodramatic here.
Thanks Lynn for the inspiration
