Dear

Dear Sorrow
You have guided me through a torrential storm
At times it seemed like you wanted to let go
But I beg for you to stay just a while longer
Until I meet the black of exhausted sleep
 
Dear Calm
You are rarely around these days
I have tried to seek you out
I have left you messages
I even thought of sending you smoke signals
To get your attention
But why bother?
You will come when you're ready
And not a second sooner!
 
Dear Restraint
Why do you hold me back
Allowing them to say such horrible things?
You held me back, my nails broke into my skin
I tasted blood in my mouth
Damn you for letting me bite my tongue
Why did you do that?
Next time just don't show up!
 
Dear Friend
I'm trembling
You're holding my hand
You love me without being in love
Without expecting anything
Yet accepting everything
 
Dear Passion
You've done something I never thought possible
Do you know you have awakened me?
And always -
Love was supposed to come first
Yet you made a point of makin' it last
You pushed your way through
And in that I will always crave you!
 
Dear Intimacy
I'm exposed
You unwrap the plastic that seals me
Allowing no one in, no one near
You saw through it all and frayed
The fabric of a well-knitted tapestry
Of loneliness
 
My Dearest Love
Through all these little notes
Through all these little sentiments
That I went through
There is no other one but you
I can confess 1000 times
And in 1000 times this will always hold true
You are and always will be...
My dearest love
