My Guts

It's you

It has always been you

And I was foolish 

To think otherwise

Even for a moment

 

You who inspires poetry

You who fits perfectly

You who stays up

All night 

So I'm okay

 

It's not that big a deal

You say

As you force your eyes

To break their glaze 

And smile

 

I love you

I was forged

To love you

Not made, never made 

I recreated me

 

From the ashes 

Comes renewal

From the scars

Comes the art 

Beautiful and strange, but mine to chose

 

◄ Imprinted

Shiver ►
