Compelled to remember, obliged to forget, I stand in my limbo, at once clear of mind and slightly confused. I can feel the sharpness that change brings with it, I can feel the wind calling, I can taste the desire that's dripping down my skin. I'm ready to stop this complacency, I'm ready to use my own hands and reach into myself to rearrange what's been torn and twisted. I still stand, I still breathe and smell the choices I have to make.
In this barren land there's nothing to seek, you're the one to be discovered. Amused and intent in finding meaning to all that happens around me, I walk in a procession marked only by my heartbeats. The land will flourish, the sky will clear, the day will come, and I will still be walking.
Drench me in despair and watch the wind dry me. Submerge me in your world, I'll show you how to float. Fill me with your history, and I'll show you that part of you that you've chosen to forget. Feed me with your sorrow, it will only make us stronger. Let go of that fear of judgment, and we'll never forget each other.
Interlace your soul with mine. Forget the facade, show me what's dark and hidden and I'll see the brightest side of you. Crumble in front of me, and you'll give me purpose. Give me purpose, and you'll have me forever by your side.
You are so expressive with your writing and give such thought. A very deep thought provoking person. Someone I will follow close and hope to call my friend despite our age difference and miles one day. You are great...keep this up.
