Summer's End - Van Nuys, CA, 2008 - J. Waggle
- Everyone who knows me knows
- I have loved you
- Except you
- You are a fool
- And I am a mess
- But I turn and face the onslaught
- I brave the orange and yellow flames
- While you cower in my shadow
- And whisper in my ear
- "Give up"
- You don't know me very well
- I reach out to the universe and I touch the sun
- The cleansing fire cauterizes my many wounds
- I am scarred but I am whole again
- You are scared of me and I don't blame you
- But this is no time to run away
- I gather you up in my arms
- As you start to fall apart
- Your smile, your eyes, your lips
- Things I used to count on
- They start to lose their color and flatten against my hand
- You have moved on
- Whatever terrible secret that lingered inside this vessel is
- Crawling into fresh skin
- Hiding behind another rock
- Trying to draw new blood from an old stone
- There is no need
- Whatever fear you face is better than the pain
- You will create and perpetuate
- Stop.
- I call to you gently
- Stop.
- Learn to love
- Don't feed your fear
