Salt
Salt the flames
Taste the tears
Why is love
All I fear
Why can’t I
Tell you how
Afraid love don’t love me now
If I die
Before I pray
I beg myself
To never fade
How can I
Be so brave
With a heart that’s left to save
Paint the world
On my back
I spiral out
Right on track
Weigh me down
Let me breathe
only some are strong as me
I’ll be here
Forevermore
Learning til
My light gets sore
Salt my tears
Taste them flow
Afraid love’s gonna let me go
never that
I’ll always be
The golden bum
The dusty king
Free myself
Accept my dream
Spread the love that I find in me
Taste the tears
Why is love
All I fear
Why can’t I
Tell you how
Afraid love don’t love me now
If I die
Before I pray
I beg myself
To never fade
How can I
Be so brave
With a heart that’s left to save
Paint the world
On my back
I spiral out
Right on track
Weigh me down
Let me breathe
only some are strong as me
I’ll be here
Forevermore
Learning til
My light gets sore
Salt my tears
Taste them flow
Afraid love’s gonna let me go
never that
I’ll always be
The golden bum
The dusty king
Free myself
Accept my dream
Spread the love that I find in me

Author's Note
Trying to come to terms with love, being alone, and being responsible to my loved ones. Not sure if I hit it, but I tried. Let me know what you think?

Thanks, I've been trying to work out poems so I'll have an easier time saying them out loud. I still have trouble with my voice in these. But I love myself for trying.
