Depths

Don’t deny me.
Pushing me away only separates
Me further from you
And the repercussions push me farther
Past my breaking point –
Past where the sun shines on my face
And the dawn rises on new days for me,
For you.

You mean everything
But give nothing.
Even if I break
Into a million pieces of lost desire,
I’ll still have my integrity.
I’ll still have my fate.

I still play in the depths
And dabble in minds of others
Searching for the answers to my questions –
It’s never easy to look in the mirror
And see your own shattered hopes and dreams.
