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.
