Fair-weather friends and lovers
Sublime for a time
At least in minimal moments (during their season)
That despite their length
Create memories
Which last a lifetime

Secrets revealed in fragments
Parts of feelings divulged in bits of held breaths
During silent conversations.
Air becomes like water. . . . . . . . Suffocating
When waiting for a response (we're drowning)

Fairies and devils lay at the shoulders of those
Torn between hiding and revealing the truth
Then panic attacks your heart strings
Pounding becomes deafening
You can barely hear your own thoughts


Relax, relate, and breathe
The regimen used to relieve
Anxiety (the attack)

A rush
Questioning your actions
Which are never at the right moment
When fear controls
Every part of your being

Whether or not (If it was meant to be)
Once the words are released
You can no longer snatch them back
Nor hold them captive
Within rib cages
In safe places
Shared between your lungs and your heart

The root of the matter is. . . . . . .

Sometimes
Even trees must have their weak, dead roots removed
Pulled away from its source
In order for its survival

Now breathe. . . . . .

Count with me
1.........2........3.........
Then we start again

Thanks guys~

This piece is inspired by love and fear. (The two can not co-exist). If love is real, it has to be let go. Sometimes we must release our fears, and allow the natural process of growing to move within us.

Often holding things in for too long, can be harmful. Sometimes we have to step out on the ledge and jump despite our anxieties and fears and allow life to take its course.

The words are not always reciprocal, nonetheless, we must move forward and cleanse our thoughts and emotions in order for healthy living to take place.

Again, thank you for the kind responses.

Hotep!
Evy
