Unspoken frustration

Unspoken frustration

Runs through my veins

Until I can't breathe

And the strength fizzles out

I flip over my heart

To find the feelings

That leave me in the space

Of happiness and anxiety

I wanted to close the door

On your warmth

That once disguised itself

In a mask that played the seducer

Leaving me feeling empty

As if you sucked up

My energy

I didn't think the maze had beauty

The way it was programmed to disorient

But somehow the maze

Birthed colorful flowers

And I started to see the real you

When you stopped treating love

Like a bitter tasting dish

Or a game where someone

Needs to lose

The night looks brighter with you

The cityscape comes alive at night,

But I choose to focus on the beating of my heart

As silence takes up space between us

We found our own personal mountain

After falling into the pit of misunderstandings

The night looks brighter with you

Because we're finally close enough

To where our hearts touch

And this is the moment

Where I would rather glance at your beauty,

Than the beauty before us

There is a string of fear,

A small echo

As if I am waking up from a dream

And the details slowly slip away

But then I feel your physical hand,

And you somehow wipe the fear out of my head

And make my heart roar once again

A powerful magic lives in the heart

The invisible bubble of limitations

Is designed to taint the imagination

Leaving the light within dim

Until you feel lost and stripped of feeling

But this illusion is truly not real,

Your imagination is the key,

The powerful magic that creates a shield

You aren't the hardcore warrior

That kills the enemies,

You are the warrior that saves room

For your own kind of warmth

To spread like a wildfire,

Eliminating the forces that sought your magic,

With just your heart

Leave the cave of your own suffering

The scary demons

Come alive when you live

In the ocean of pain and grief

It becomes your own manifestation

A world that becomes a recurring nightmare

Your thoughts of regret

Can well up inside your throat

Until they are on the verge of vacuuming out

The air from your lungs

You can choose to let it go

To leave the cave of your own suffering

You cannot wash away the memories

But learn to accept them

Without attaching to the fear

You don't lose your shadows

Instead they become part of your story,

Alchemized into an unwavering strength

Where nothing fazes you

When you learn that your own thoughts

Become your world

Pool of desire

The pool of desire that lives within me

Is not lighthearted or shallow

It's where the fire and the water is born

Not meant for me to fight

But to walk through

I chose to sail down the depths

With the light pressed to my chest

As I wear the cloak of my remembering
