The Blood & The Bones

I am full of heart and hope and healing..I swear it. In me you would find a home.

But, first, you must climb the impossible walls I didn’t want to build. They are lined, deliberately, with pieces of my shattered heart. This will keep out the weak.
But, so very often, scare away the wanted.

I pretend to be touch yet untouchable. A thing to want for only a little bit. But secretly, this is not who I want to be.

I know that I can be the one you always hoped to find … loving you so completely.

And even though I know it would be so worth it. And even if I maybe already half love you. This is something I never really feel I could ask of you or of anyone..

So I say nothing and let you slip away.
