you and the cave

NinjaGirl

you squeeze through the cave

so many have died this way

gotten suffocated or stuck upside down

you're all alone exploring this hole

with passages that lead to nowhere

it gets really tight and claustrophobic

what treasures are you seeking?

there is not much down here

the rock covered everything for a reason

why do you want the truth?

will you still want it when it's ugly?

but you dive deeper

that headlamp you wear

I don't think it will save you

from the darkness I've been hiding.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I often wonder a few things: when they search deep in me/trying to find the truth/will they really want it? and: if I am ever loved/will my partner be traumatized/by my own trauma/or perhaps angry/I don't think its easy to be loved/when your cave is so hard to navigate.

    I know the fear and it is real. With that said, if your partner loves you for who you are, they will dive to the depths of hell for you...your "cave" won't scare them away. That's not to say it won't scare them, but true love does not flee when the going gets tough...rather, it grows stronger. Thank you so much for sharing this. True vulnerability at its best and that always makes for a beautiful poem Well done! 🌹👏🖤❤️🖤
