We dance around that
which we know to be.
So scared to be hurt
that we
skirt the truth
in case it swallows us entirely.
So scared of hurt,
we let the pain slowly rise inside
until it breaks the heart in half
then shatters either side.
I hear you whispering out tenderly,
on the waves your love reverberates
until its echoes surround me.
I know you hear the words
I throw like stones into the sea,
but we both sink
to stop those thoughts
drowning us entirely.
If we were cars on a motorway
and the words were our destination,
the road would always circle back
to stop us from visiting them.
In their own way they are trying to protect,
but what if we don’t need protecting?
What if we are instead
letting love fall to neglect?
What if those
skyscrapers in the distance,
are full of hope, promise and warmth
and not at all what they may seem,
not filled with horrors
we are expecting to swarm.
We dance around the truth
It’s easier, than believing,
its less scary, than revealing
your heart, for if it is exposed,
It could possibly corrode,
It could be tampered with
Causing it to explode.
But it could also be taken home.
Held as tight as day holds night.
And it could be loved
the way it should be for life
