Thank you so much for taking the time to view my work today. Embrace all your dreams! @StellarBelle --- _All it took was one sweeping glance for our hearts to bind. Deeper than this current I swim against, I can feel myself sinking slow. Slower than this breeze that moves me, I float away from you and into the atmosphere. I hear voices attempt to summon me, to coerce me back to the fire, and I can’t help but look away. I can’t get this colour from my eyes, So I cover you in the ash of yesterday. In the moments of truth before your footsteps change direction, I give it all up & throw our time away. In all the white noise that is mistaken for conversation we divide anew, And suddenly, the real reason for your love appears before me, ashen-faced & juvenile. You look as exhausted as my heart feels._ _I once feared for all things materialistic, Until the day came that this coma ended & I was awake. Released from this weight, this angst, this control, these expired nuances - I’m a comet burning bright. Feircely I dive beneath the ice and come away from your encasing poison, And unadulterated compassion rears it disproportioned head to stare at you. But you can’t see from a gash to your head, That the words you spill aren't as confident as you feel. So many lies cloak you like ceremonial garments, A different face for a different line._ _I used to think that it was me, That I was the one filled with filth, & worse was the hate that spilled. I had hoped that our universes would collide, Instead I'm immersed in the empty void that is you. I used to look at you with awe and speculation, But now I see nothing but a hapless shell of a nobody. If one who loves you can surround you and shatter your heart into a million transparent peices, Then, much deeper than these currents I swim against, I dont want you anymore. Now smoother than the breeze that moves me, I become one with the person I had forgotten who I was.. In a different time we were one, Until our demons consumed and snatched out our light. In place of a man stands a insolent shadow, full of broken memories & deceit, And I can no longer see your face._ --- <center></center> If I do anything incorrect it's because I am very new to Steemit. I'm here to make some friends and hopefully share some of my writing and artwork. Sometimes I have help with my blogs but I'll try to post on my own and perhaps mistakes will be made. So please try to help me understand and grow and be patient with me because I'm trying and want to connect with like-minded people and have a good time on Steemit.
