Sand in my Eyes

Metaphorical poem about life

Life is a desert.
Millions of sand grains
are moments merely passed.
The wind blows sand around
and our past catches up to us.
Everything becomes sandy
and dusting off memories is hard.
The powerful sand storms
are flashbacks of damaging times.
The unexpected and irregular storm
is why I cry, sand in my eye.
The desert wind is impacting,
it carries the good times, and the bad.
Beautiful dune formations are shaped
into the person I am right now.
One grain of sand is so insignificant
it is only one second in my life.
It is really easy to lose a grain of sand,
and forget a second when its gone.
Sand forms into beautiful configurations
that are moments in life as an entirety.
Weightless sand drift by the wind
creating life to change in ways unforeseen.
The grains of sand are not insignificant,
they are the seconds that brought us here.
Carried by storm sand travels forward
to a new state, and that is right now.
Life Is A Desert.

but you deserve so much more. You are being emotionally abused and manipulated into doing things you don't want to do. it is damaging your spirit your heart and your soul. and you can't see it from where you are right now. but hopefully deep down you know this is true. you deserve to be cherished and respected above all things and not meant to feel inadequate and stupid. writing these things to you is definitely inappropriate and may even damage our relationship beyond repair. hopefully you see this gesture as an act of love and kindness which is meant to be.this is certainly not meant to upset you or offend you in anywaybut I will understand if it does. I take this chance because you have touched me in ways that I will not express at this timeand it's the reason I risked everythingto let you know that you are not alone and that I am here for you.I know you value loyalty and you are loyal to the coreand I understand if you feel you have to bring this to the attention of others. again, it is a risk I'm willing to takeif in the short term or long term it brings you happiness. I see you losing little bits of yourself all the time and I need you to be whole. take this for what it's worth can do with it as you wish. but you deserve so much more.
