I can’t remember
when or why it slipped away
but it cuts me deep

I assume nothing
You taught me that years ago
But I still have hope

I want all of you
Even parts you try to hide
Especially those

It comes and it goes
in crushing waves that beckon
but I don’t love you

I loved you fiercely,
wild and without abandon
And then not at all

I’m standing here now
Tell me what you need to say
before time runs out

She whispers softly
she wants me to be happy
But my bruises healed

Just want to be free
Run into the wild without
regard. Just be me.
