Fallen memories, in my mind
Escape from me, be so kind;
Feigned smiles cannot hide;
Years of darkness, that pain inside.
Open your mind, feel my truth;
Behind these eyes, lies your proof.
Steal my breath, laugh with me;
Touch my hand, set me free.
Scars exist, no shame to feel;
Confront the truth, make it real.
Walk alone, escape the night;
Embrace my heart, hold it tight.
Love will find, that place inside;
Where those demons, try to hide.
Choose the path, this one so pure;
Feel the passion, find the cure.
Winds have blown, the sun has set.
Stars aligned, we have met.

What I like about poetry is that you can put so much meaning into a few lines, but that you can read it again and find something new there. It’s a great way of expressing yourself and along with your lovely photos, you have done so beautifully. 🙂
