Some Love

Fly me to the moon but don’t fly me back

I want to wake up every day and see the world

Gaze upon it and marvel wonder where you sleep tonight

I am afraid to get any closer for fear I’d fall right back down to earth

Pulled back down by the hand of love

Never seen

But always felt

Tugging pulling

Planted firmly on almost alien soil

Standing unimaginably far

But still fearing you’ll get too close

Guarded

Heart that is guarded behind false smiles and false assurances

Walled in by the pain, beaten and broken tears mixed with blood

Tucked away no longer worn on the sleeve of outstretched arms

Remain hidden within this chest but the safest place is still further away

Looking deep inside fear grabs hold and uncertainty digs it’s claws in

Heart so well guarded could never be reached but only set free

Walls break down brick by brick

Heart mended piece by broken and shattered piece

Heart so beautifully disastrous and dangerously fragile with a million cracks on the surface

Telling the tale of love’s catastrophe it could fall apart at any given moment

Standing alone on the pedestal with no end of loneliness in sight

Afraid not only of remaining here guarded but thin lies and fake smiles

But of taking that step off the edge not knowing if there will be a place to land

Or just more pain, more of the same
