Somehow

Somehow I have to find

A way

To walk away from this house of ruins

Where all the walls are falling down

Exposing the truer cracks deep inside

Places where I can no longer hold it together

And feelings flow like rivers

I must find a way to move forward

And leave behind this place of pain

This house of lonelieness and shame

I am not meant only to bear this heavy burden of sadness

That lies fallow and unacknowledged

And now I feel my heart breaking open in two

Revealing a place where flowers long to grow

In deep dark soil

I must find a way to plant new seeds somehow

Otherwise

I just fear I will die here

Or suffocate

From the pain of love and care

Denied
