I hold my breathe
And dare not
Break the spell
You cast
Holding
Onto your promise
Of moments
To take my breathe away

Hold Me

Hold Me
Fold me inside your arms
Near your heart
Let me bury my head
I relax.
As my breathing fals in time with yours
I grow still,
Drift away,
And dream.

When I Find

When I find
That things I used to run to
Were only better than
The nightmares I was running away from
and are now
Not sufficient to cradle my dreams
I am left with both fear and freedom
For unknown possibilities

I want your shoulder

I want your shoulder
To bury my head
A place to hide as I find shelter
From the shards of my hope
As they fly away
Threatening to cut through
And reveal my core
Where my stories are sharp
And hidden from others
I long for your shoulder
Where the pieces can fall
And you won't find discomfort
And force the pieces back
With glue and barbed wire
To fit an unknown puzzle
Where they don't fit
But instead, where you let them lie
Until they melt
Into the place they're meant to be. 

Words

The words

Would drip from my mind

And fall to the page

When I wanted you to know

Your impact, the way you make me feel

And I want you to know

That my feelings

Are no less strong.

But the words are now hard

Because for me, I am cautious

And each word

Means so much more

And each message 

Is far more important

Falling

Drops

Falling away, On my face

Streams

Wipe away the fear

Fear

Washed away I find a place I fall

To land

In soft dreams where you surround me
