crimson wings
Accepting who I am isn’t any easier than watching you spread your crimson wings in the sunlight
Shattering all thoughts in pure daylight
Blinding beauty beating away each wave of heat
It’s so hard to look you in the face
You glow with a grace that’s only found inside
And when you cried there were no tears
Just loose feathers
I can’t begin to explain what stirs in your heart
Something so strong and yet vulnerable
You’re intoxicatingly magnetic
Drawn to you by something I can’t control
Unable to pause or think
Unable to say no
However strong your power of my may be
You still have yet to realize what it means
How can two beings be this hopelessly entangled?
I can’t let you go
I can’t give you up
This feels too right
Too much
I’m scared to have you acknowledge me
Such plain memories sprinkle our story
I hope there’s more to experience
How can I not feel empty anymore
You’ve filled me to the top
About to burst through all my mended seams
Stupid, broken dreams
There’s something more than what they see
A creativity lacked with those so inclined to have forgotten their manors at an unfamiliar dinner table
Telling themselves their neither good enough nor able
Sadly I used to be one of these pathetic dining people
But you have saved me
You have freed my soul
I owe you too much but don’t have anything to offer
So when you ask for my hand I’ll give you my heart
Fully engaged in your eyes
Taken by surprise at how at ease I feel in your arms flying through the sky.
