broken peace

Natalie Heisey

I feel like a storm, a hurricane inside Crashing through emotions, with nowhere left to hide i'm a tangled mess of shadows, a battlefield of scars

And I wonder, can anyone truly love me as I am, behind these bars? I push you away, not because I want to

But because I fear you'll see the truth The darkness that lingers, the pain that won't cease Can anyone love this intensity, this chaotic, broken peace?

I crave a love that burns, a fire in the soul But I'm terrified of getting consumed, losing all control

I'm a walking contradiction, a paradox of need Wanting to be held close, yet begging you to recede

Maybe I'm too much, too loud, too raw, too real A constant rollercoaster, an emotional appeal

I'm a challenge to unravel, a puzzle to decode Can anyone handle the weight, the heavy, heavy load?

 

I push you away, not because I want to But because I fear you'll see the truth The darkness that lingers, the pain that won't cease

Can anyone love this intensity, this chaotic, broken peace?

So I brace myself for impact, for the inevitable fall Knowing that loving me is a risk, a gamble for it all

But deep down, I still yearn for a love that's unafraid To dive into the depths, where my true self is displayed.

    Vacillating emotional intensity between need for intimacy and fear of engulfment captivates this poem and shouts out into a void for acknowledgement and help that never comes. Never comfortable either too close of too far away. Terrifying. Well written
