that once

 

trapping
invisable tears
i hide from you well
its easier to hide behind the truth
and be veiled in the ensuing silence.

at least
i was valiant
this one time
when you saved me from the dregs of the bottle
and the bottem of the well
id cried myself into
you saved me
and now....

weakness isnt attractive
and i cant hide my vulnerabilities
not in my words
nor my face
nor my thoughts
you have encommpassed me

and though youve let that
anchor loose
i dont drown
i swim
strong, and stealthy
to where i know i belong

my choices were made
when i wrote the first word
after the ultimatum
and your fears
are unfounded now
