It's Complicated

By SickSanityJenn

Tender and secret is the love that breathes into my lungs
Forgive me for the strangled emotions I've cursed and damned

A struggle, ever constant, not to reach out for more
Forgive me for the longing ache to show you all I am

Quiet is the crippling current of anger, when you are near
Forgive me for the curiosity to know your sweetly beating heart

I know not what I should do, nor the path with which to take
Please forgive me for the lack of courage to go, to part

The constant need to turn for validation of all that is me
Forgive me for the fear I struggle with in all I do

The damage that has torn us both asunder in our ways
Forgive me for the withered attempts to comfort and to soothe
