The Sound Of Your Voice

The sound of your voice… soothes my soul. For a moment… I’m truly in the moment… imagining completely opening doors… I closed forever, so long ago… daring myself to explore… what I labelled unknown, and… tucked away in a secret place… when… I finally became strong enough… to pick me up from the floor… eternally damaged and exposed… there’s a price to pay… to remain in control… mentally blocking any possibility… if… risks are attached… if… my heart is at stake… I gave my all once, and… almost didn’t get me back… these walls were built with blood… anger, and… tears… strengthen throughout the years… you challenge that foundation, so… I don’t let you in, but… I keep you near… playing Russian roulette with my comfort zone… the sound of your voice… soothes my soul.

Last, but certainly not least, inspired by a conversation today. Thanks to this beautiful soul, our childhood always leads the way to how we used to escape. You were here in spirit, as I zoned out into my fave world of words, and had a long over due date with self. This one was for YOU (I hope you like it). I can always channel the pain to try to come close to my interpretation of how someone else may feel, but this one right here hit home. For those who take the time to read, if you identify with this poem, I’m daring you to get out of your own way, and follow your heart (easier said than done) my exact thoughts as I type, but what no human being can deny, is that life is too short to be afraid to fall in love. God Bless.
