Conduit
I’ve found a space somewhere betwixt and between,
Uncomfortable on the threshold like an arranged bride
“Are you alright” became routine and unfortunately necessary,
I breathe out quietly across this unnamed void,
Will this minūte whisper violently carry
crowded into this herd of population I was born to avoid,
Your lips are moving in unison with your hand gestures
If I opened wide and spilled my dark secrets both deep and scary
Could you have the strength to keep them sequestered,
I’ve lost me and it’s cost me I’m no longer anything like free,
The best of life in which I’ve recently stopped dreaming,
The security in knowing I dont have to fear what I cannot see,
As I live and breathe you’ve done it again
I can’t believe how I keep getting taken in,
You know I love you, God how you play on that,
Even as my love grew, you step back.
