Should I

Reopen that book?

You know the one.

The one they took

from my shelf

with drawers.

The one which my heart held

open.

The one where my truth was

spoken

In metaphor.

It was I who closed the door.

Yet I can't ignore

the influence

who moved me

to push

and turn the key. 

Though it still appears to be

me

who made it happen.

Because i did it

with passion.

But my intention

was disturbed

which led me to hurt

inside

where I hide 

my tears. 

and I would have shared

but I was scared

of life.

But why?

I was free from mind

before i took the time

to look

at that book

that they took

from my shelf.

And now

I'm afraid to open

for what I had spoken

was broken

in pieces

which don't fit anymore. 

As the puzzle pieces fell

on the floor

and were eaten.

Yay! Glad to see you back,

Yay! Glad to see you back, and in strong form. Sometimes the visceral is what we need...at least I feel that way. I especially like the scared of life part. Feel that way often.
