It took me 13 days and 4 lifetimes to sit still long enough,
to slice open a vein and copy down the words
flowing out from the wound.
It took me countless heartaches and barrels of tears
to force myself to face the inevitable surrender
of ever finding bliss.
It took me 1 hour and 7 glances until I fell
heart over head, soul over mind,
reason over emotion, with you and your soul.
It took you one little word, one little action
to destroy 33 years of me.
It'll take me more than what time has to offer
to pick myself up
to hope once again
to love. To feel.
