She Waited for Me (Edited)

CATEGORY

long distance

I was surviving off of a heart planted amongst broken dreams 

Only awakening for the unkept love that somehow remained laced in my pillow's seams 

Never acknowledging the demon that continued to manifest within 

I was too undone to loved 

I was too all out to be in..

Time passed slowly.

...as did my growing pains 

I found weeds amongst roses that sprouted below soil of leftover rain

Not daring to find love's shadow 

Nor invite forever's path again....

It was instead...there... I found HER

She was waiting for me...

Hesitantly, I let her in 

Allowed her to stroke my bleeding center 

Piecing together parts of me while still unable to find her own 

It was in those moments 

I knew 

SHE was love alone...

Even when I had nothing to portray

But a rose  still edged amongst concrete's stone...

She gave dreams in lost thoughts that could narrate to the soul...

Met me with eyes of God that forever couldn't even hold 

Trails of fire, I found laced..

Within the essence of her fingertips

I lived for influence of her heat 

And whiskey that lay between her hips... 

Those Unforgivable lips

That spoke of prophetic stanzas and unattainable fairytale scripts 

I'd dare...

That for in those moments 

Just to be told...

Despite the ghosts of my heart that demanded that veins remain cold

And even after our time proved old 

I found that her presence still remained  

Even when I questioned her will to stay when love elsewhere offered better days...

And with no hesitation....

 She uttered the most beautiful, authentic words to me.

That her love refused to wither 

 ...just as the tide refuses to hinder its kissing upon  the sea❤️

And with no defiance of my own, my heart surrendered to its new defeat...

It was in love that I found truth...

It resided in her... waiting for me.
