This. Is. It.
These quiet roads deafen me
As the realisation hits home
Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Degrees
Inside of me, Igniting me
Yet somehow these empty skies
Have left me feeling so. Full. Up
My hearts churning, Fire’s burning
He’s crying now, as he turns around
Round and Round and through reaching out
He can’t seem to make one single sound
Or even conjure up the strength to make a noise
That’s loud enough
He’s screaming now, his voice is drowned, drowning
As he surmounts, leaps and pounces
With every ounce to catch the attention
Of the only one he’s been striving for.
There is No. Escaping. This.
I hear it. Loud and Clear. I can hear
His mighty calls. Locked eyes on you
And now, he ROARS
With Lion Claws, he fights the fools
Removes the drool, fired by fools
With pea sized balls – who tried to fool
Who gave their all to fool, me.
My God. I can hear it.
I can’t help but feel it.
Burning. It burns. He fires through
Each tiny hoop, he skips and shoots
He glides right through my veins
Through every single artery.
Striving through each life line
Guided by you, who now lives inside of me.
My blood full flow, You and I Full Flow
We flow together – perfectly
We haze the view, you are quite simply
Gushing through every part of me and
Despite it all, and yes – you have seen it all
I never stopped
I have never stopped feeling.
Not for you
Not for one second.
My hearts frustrated.
You’re frustrated.
I know, Me too.
He’s shouting out, he shouts so loud
Deafening me. He yells
‘SIT DOWN’ ‘SORT IT OUT’
‘KAZ. STOP! PLEASE. JUST. STOP’
‘STOP PUNISHING ME!’
Whilst inadvertently punishing you
It was never meant to be this way you know,
You and me, me and you – we are a ‘we’
We need to work as a team.
It’s these heart beats you’ve provided which carry me
They carry me through,
I can’t bare the thought, the cold harsh truth
The reality being that I’ve neglected you.
It’s true.
It’s my worst mistake and I would NEVER have done that intentionally.
Not knowingly.
I guess this time, it is my time to admit
With my hands held high, head up to the sky
I admit defeat.
No matter how hard I try
Or you might try –
Or anyone else on the outside will undoubtably try to
Sway or change or taint our minds,
I can’t stop the fall.
I don’t want to stop the fall.
For you, I would quite literally Risk. It. All.
I can’t avoid, I can’t ignore
My heart deployed on its deep routed goal
From every essence of my very core
I can’t lessen, or slow down or stall
Blood flow rushing;
You are My Mission
Selflessly guiding me into the light
Untied me, remind me of purpose and fight
You’re helping me find my voice again
To make a means from deep within
Focused on each and everything
My skin, each cell, my Health and bones
Self love, my dreams, my hopes and goals
My mind, my brain, a drive to win
In life and love, reason to breathe again.... easily
Unlocking bolts, removing keys that subconsciously protected me,
By holding me in solidarity;
Instinctively they hid my heart
Behind closed doors.
But I felt your force and can’t ignore
These keys now yours
If you’ll take them from me?
They are yours.
Because, now is MY time to prove
To prove to you that
Sticks and stones may break my bones but
I’m finely sewn together inside, you see
You weaved a web, using a spider’s thread and
I need you. I need you and I want you
Both my heart and I, we want you and
We think you want us too.
We’ve both agreed we need you
To be complete.
You are now my heart beat.
He wins.
My heart wins.
You win.
Because…. (deep breath)
I’ve F A L L E N
I have fallen head over heals
No breaks on wheels,
Madly, Haphazardly, Exasperatingly, yet
Somewhat Tragically and yes at times
Embarrassingly and Pathetically
Though of course, More than Gladly
Over the Hills in Love,
With You.
Guilty as sinned.
I’m in Love with You.
