spikes around me
they've grown
and evolved beautifully
and stronger
that's how it works
you'll get hurt
until you cling to what is best
moving forward to see what's beyond
the horizon
where he left me
i use these barbs
to protect me
and prevent me
from the uninvited guests.
VOUS LISEZ

Poésie__ heavenly bodies only know where you are now. maybe i was not holding on too tight as you slipped away. wasn't i still yours? __
