space between

hailing feelings, pouring thorns

not sure i can face the storm

i'm running for my life

i run, hide and dive

into a space to survive

it's the space between

the safe place i can be

sometimes when i dont want to get hurt

i run here

it's where i can sing as loud as i can

and i actually sound good

it's where i can cry as long as i want

and no one really cares

neither do i

space between

i crave that space between

if i get too comfortable i may never leave

space between

stuck in this space between

going in and out

peeking through the door

i sometimes wonder if i can do this anymore

space between

i'm loving the space between

where love feels like myself

have no concern for someone else

space between

can i stay in this space between?

i know, i know the answer

but sometimes i pretend

that i'll forever stay in the space between

I dig the use of “pouring thorns”...

man...i felt that in my bones.

We all have our space between.

That is quite encompassing as language embraces the spaces where there may be no words or understanding, comfort or hope. There is beauty and refuge there as well. This is such a gem to the reading heart.
