His Inquiry

He asked me…

“How was I able to share with the world the words that saved my life?”

I said…

“If I could conquer my fear of being rejected by the heart I sought after then maybe I can be vulnerable and undress myself for the world to see.”

You were the hardest part and yet the best part

The bitterness on my tongue that was sweet at first taste

I drowned myself in my love for you and instead you walked away

You filled my mind with all the ways you loved me

But you were always giving that love away

You are why I write

The reason to share with the world my pain

I want to share with the world that love broke my heart but my words are what healed me
