...Precipice of Possibilities

By SolApathy

In a moment of intimate desire
 you lit a long-quelled fire
Demons have long embraced my dreams
Stealing happiness, replacing light with screams
Mind, body, soul
Unable to break the hold that has kept me so cold
How is it you rekindled?
Love from me so long ago, swindled
Stolen with my own thoughts
Yet, somehow you have brought
The warmth of your lips to spark a flame
I resist, untamed
Fearful of yet another internal war
As you leave
Burdening me, evermore
Yet—Forever in my mind, only you
I look to your eyes and feel the possibility of a love, true
Terrified of the feelings as they grew
I stand upon a precipice of uncertainty
Do I fly or dive into this realm of possibilities?
Can I stay here forever upon the edge of this abyss
Or should I embrace this kiss?
