When we become fallible,

hearts do break,

dreams come apart at the seams,

lips do quiver,

when the pain becomes too much to bear,

the eyes water,

breath is short as our bodies feel this

pure flush heat.

We don’t know what to do

when the one we love decides to hurt.

~

Scared, a shattered innocence

becomes his focus,

may not understand,

but he does know love,

wishes to keep it,

rather than lose.

~

If once the fear begin to subside

we could pretend away shame,

then will become the possibility,

the earnest desire

to truly let go.
