kiss the scars

 
I'm sorry for not being present in the moment when you are needing
a powerful emotion overcomes me
when wave after wave of feeling washes into my soul
and I get visions that frighten

I pull back, then
I am still very connected to you
but I have to slow it down and find my balance again

see, I hear the powers that be
they tell me things
I don't know if they are always honest
but from what I know of them they are truth seekers
with a hungry pursuit of knowledge

getting to the core of a soul can be difficult
with so many different honesties
all reflective of another

I see your facets and am in wonder of you
but baby you overwhelm me
without even trying
I never thought to meet another like me

kiss the scars and find me

I am scorned in the cold
sensitive to the touch

was I arrogant once?
