Listening To My Heart - Poetry/Lyrics

Poem 41 {You Were Just A Trick Of The Light}

I used to need you to hold me so tight

And for your lips to silence the dark.

Though little did I know that your lips did nothing

But let the darkness seep in slowly,

Turning me into this weak little thing.

The sun is finally rising though,

The darkness is lifting as my shoulders thaw,

I'm breathing and I'm sleeping with ease.

My nights don't hold your voice that sends me on a nightmare.

I can take a step and not feel fragile

And I can speak not worried over what you would think.

I'm not able to describe it though,

I just feel so free and buoyant.

I have the strength to pull through and to smile.

And most importantly it's without you.

Cause your poison has slowly leaked away.

I've slowly woke to a new day with my heart beating again.

And I'm slowly feeling the warmth and joy,

It's just outside my window.

And I'll reach it,

All with time and faith and that smiling face.

I've become immune to your game

 And I'm learning how to play a whole new game,

A game without you.

I walk away with strength

And I can look at you now and not feel that throb in my heart.

It's beating and singing.

I don't need breakup songs to get me through and I don't need to hold on.

I stand my own ground and I stand with desire.

Not desire for you.

For your lips.

For your embrace.

For your tender words.

No.

Desire to fly.

Fly, away from you.
