this is not ballet.

do i want

to tiptoe

through my present

and throughout

my future.

 

this is not ballet.

and i am not a ballerina.

the things he said to me.

make your home here.

(in my heart.)

love.

have faith.

our breath.

breathe in love.

breathe out fear.

love.

i am grateful to know love.

to love

and to be loved.

that is all that matters in this world.

you.

you

are everything

that

i

have been searching for.

an observation.

we are all shape and shadow

under this burning sun.

a fable of you.

you act enlightened

yet

you go through life with your eyes wide shut.

something real.

let’s end this now.

while we’re still in love.

at least

this way

we’ll have something real to miss.

ask yourself.

does it feel heavy or light?
