Prisms of pain dangle from the
window sill
Casting rainbows of a paler
shade of me
Dancing in circles they twirl
Reminders who I used to be
And what is left that stands
empty
In the darker corner of the room
Seeking shelter in the shadows
Covering my shame with the
reflections of others
To only see what they want to
see
What has become cracked and
faded
Remains hidden in the comfort
of my lovers eyes
The imperfections covered by
his hands
Lips kiss the marks left by words of others
Understanding there is nothing
left to put back together
That the pieces that glitter
in the light
Broken fragments but still
beautiful
That the roads of life have
left their tracks
Along this person I embody now
A stranger, who would know?
That I have forgotten the path
home
Amongst the weeds I have grown
I quietly rest my head
Waiting for my dreams to
awaken
The one who comes to me
When my heart is breaking
And knows it has always been
there
Just waiting for his taking
He taste the sadness that rest
behind my eyes
Accepts the vision of my world
is vacant
Dark and cold
His warmth, frees me
Fills the craving that tears
at my seams
The need for comfort without a
touch
He gives me the air to breath
The gentle breeze to carry me
away
Far from the damages I have
caused
The understanding to know
there is more to me
Than the wall I hide behind
He reaches into the unknown
Able to penetrate my soul
The person I have search my
whole life for
Finally taking his place by my
side
