Anthony

My eyes are enslaved in this beauty
And I imagine you’ll never know
But even if you did,
I don’t know that you would understand

And I wonder if I fell in love with your words
Before I ever trusted my heart
To fall in love
With you
And if those words
Are what won’t let me
Let go
Of the conflict
That outweighs the beauty,
Outweighs the euphoria that I feel
When I’m with you

Because I can’t walk away
From what I see
In your soul
Because I see…
I see a piece of me
That not even I
Understand
And somehow,
I know you do.

So, I’ve tried to rid my thoughts of you
For all of a week now
And on a lonely night
I find myself
In the arms
Of words
That were never meant for me
But that mean more
Than you could ever realize.
