It isn't easy
to have only my life
as my anchor,
when all I've ever wanted
was you at my side.

Time and time again,
I push away this need
that begs to be satisfied.

This cloying rant of belonging
hangs heavily on my mind,
the web that entraps
my long-held fears.

I wish.
I believe.
I can stand alone.
I can bear the breaking of my heart
if you walked away.

But what is it in the night
that seeks to break my belief?

I always come back
to my sad, sorry past
when you were the passion
that consumed my life.

As before
You become power and fear,
death and life and love,
my completion.

- The End -
