Feeling

peto

As the old bows it head for the new to begin 

Goosebumps run up and down every inch of her skin 

Any trust that remains is still painfully thin

The girl running riot in my head 

 

It has taken a while for her smashed heart to heal

Even now she's not sure how to let herself feel 

There's a queue forming hoping one day she'll reveal 

Mysteries long contained in her head 

 

Beauty cursed 

Broken nursed

Pin to burst 

Her shield 

 

Face aflush 

Secret crush 

Stay hush hush 

Or yield 

 

Feeling maybe 

Just maybe 

I might have a chance 

Of the love 

That's been missing for years 

Feeling maybe 

Just maybe 

I'll once again dance 

on a floor 

That's not littered 

With tears

    Oh my gosh, Stevie! What a sad one! Or is it rife with hope that you'll find love?
    "I'll once again dance on a floor that's not littered with tears" Hopeful, yet, pulls on the heart strings. This is perfect. A favorite for me!

        And there's that drop of......hope. In the midst of discovering all the dark layers....of the one.....who makes our heart skip a beat....🫣

          Great to see you
          thank you

          Do you think you could ask your king to put you down for 5 minutes
          I know he won't find it easy
          Maybe impossible
          Just so I can stop missing your writing
