I read your words
And then I reread them
Just so I could let myself
Sink into the depths of your words
That connect somewhere within the depths
Of a soul I thought was long lost
In the mire of this painful world.
You reawakened the pain within me
When it was taboo to feel
Blood was spilled
And mixed with my tears
Until I saw nothing but you
Hanging somewhere in the midst
Of dreams long forgotten
From a past I sometimes want to forget.
Somewhere in my dreams
You held me in your arms
Looking me in the eyes
Finally able to answer the questions
We both have been asking
Yet not wanting to tell me
So you whisper softly in my ear
"Take the journey
And meet me at the end".
