I am torn in two

Between who I was

And who I am yet to be

Can I return to the shell of who I was

And tuck myself inside

Safe and sound before I knew I was broken

Or must I reveal the cracks

To unfiltered light

And put my arms elbow deep

Into new wet clay

And rebuild myself

A new temple

For a brighter, more complete soul...

His eyes much like the ocean,

Pull me in like the falling tide.

It is gentle, it is kind.

He always sees the brighter side.

My love for both it burns so bright,

How can I just decide.

To choose between the sea and sun,

A torrent in my mind.

No matter who it is I choose,...

Music blaring

Hot humid air

.15 blood alcohol

Flowing rolling golden locks

Your green eyes meet mine

Lost in the moment

Lost in you

I don’t dance

That night I did

Face to face

Looking

Eyes to lips

Eyes to eyes

Pulling you in by back of neck

Kissing as teenagers do

When feels all so new

Friends eyes on us

With mouths agape

For they all knew

Your boyfriend

My girlfriend...

With passion's fire, a dazzling light.

His words, like honey, used to disguise his lies

Enchanting her, captivating her mind.

She fell for his manipulation every single time.

The other, gentle, steady, true,

A love ...
