Breaking Free

Innocence is evident in my soul. The pain from within is often intolerable, The need for the love of another human being is obvious, But what lies beneath it all is extraordinary, For I know what it is that I have to give, And I am astonished at how rare it really is. Every day I live with it, Digging away at my shyness, Hollowing away at my heart. Part of me wishes it would stop, That it would simply cease to exist. Part of me wishes that the barrier would be shattered, That my love would be free To give itself to the person it chooses. Part of me wishes that someone from the outside Would break through the barrier To claim my underlying love. Twisted and torn, Day in and day out. It has chosen many lives that it would like to be a part of, But no one has ever known of its existence, Concealed within the depths of my soul. Change is inevitable, So fighting it is useless. Then again, why am I fighting, In losing the fight I gain what I need so very much. I can imagine the bond I could create With the spirit of another human being, Oh, how magnificent that would be, With romance coursing through my veins, Passion running out of my heart and into theirs, And love circulating between us. Oh, what a dream that would be. In time this ultimate dream of mine shall become true, My life will become intertwined with another. But for now I must wait for the love I hold inside To break free from it's shackles Roam free to brighten the life of another. Written March 14th, 2002 © on Mar 14 2002 08:01 AM PST   0 • 10
