Streetlights, Dogs and Wood

one night…i remember

flickering street lights
a small dog barking with persistence
car horns and the crackling of burning wood
forming a chaotic melody in the distance

devoid of hope
i entered the kaleidoscope of uncertainty
only wishing for the next day
and then surprisingly
in the time it takes silence to die
a shadow, silhouette, masterpiece of her obscured my vision

with the click of each heel
i could feel her chipping away
destroying the wall surrounding my inhibitions

i was…engulfed
overwhelmed by the sense of my heart led astray
my intuition told me to find Harriet's way
and run into a midnight Canadian sky
as if freedom lay on the horizon within my grasp

but..my mind was still

my will to love was stronger
and although i knew pain can last until the longest forever
i chose to sever the weight of heartache's sin
i chose carry the pain and try again

i whispered into the darkness…

this time she will know me
this time she will love me
this time she will be my friend
this will be something my heart will fight for
no longer will my heart be torn

one night i remember…I was reborn

flickering street lights
dogs
burning wood and car horns

the night i shed my disdain
realizing joy + pain = love
like licking honey from a rose's thorn

i chose to try my luck again…

i chose to love

i chose to win

u probably think I'm an idiot right?

Crazy...
