The Blood & The Bones

what I wouldn’t give

to go back to a time

when loving you

was not a dagger

a sharp persistent piercing thing

embedding it’s edge

into the soul of who I wanted to be

or a crushing weight

of mountains built on

memories not meant for me

baring down, forceful and heavy

I am not strong enough

to push this away

I cannot breathe

I cannot breathe

Please

I want to be free
