Somehow the very confidence he inspired
through him loving me
set my world on fire
and brought me to my knees
where is my heart
I try to scream
somewhere he is held captive
unable to breathe
despite his pain
his aching
that
echoes and shattered into millions of fragments
within his soul
what he despised most was
the confidence
he had inspired within me
a mountain of red curls and
the ability to rock out my torn out kneed jeans
and a myriad of words
that now flowed through me
his love ignited my soul
set off a soul-shattering earthquake
brought forth the girl I had always dreamed I would be
I found courage in loving him
his soul set of an explosive eruption
he defines me
his words now an echo uttered in pain
“I am trying to make sense of these feelings”
but I will find the courage to continue to be me
wait forever
until he finds his way back to me
