Sometimes I feel the darkness in my heart
In response to the ignorance or the leaving
Actions or reactions
That were never meant to burn
But can all so easily
Turn my guts into a place of fire
When the thwarted desire
To be close to you
Gets eclipsed
Then I feel all that is vulnerable within me
Wanting to shut tight closed
The open door of my heart
Or break so very far away
From a place where I can be hurt
And what gets lost in translation
Is the remembering of your caring
And the awareness
That none of what you do is personal
So why must I take it
So much to heart?
Perhaps even realising this
Means there may be a chance for me
To finally make a brand new start
To recognise when that soft sore spot
In me is touched
And learn to answer the wound
With caring compassion and love
For both of us
You are extraordinary and this is so beautiful!
