Into My Wings

Standing,
Alone,
Cold,
With my wings-
 wrapped around me.
For so long,
It seemed.

I pretended,
To have,
To hold,
Him.

False,
Is what,
It had become.

Even after,
Almost,
What seemed,
A lifetime,
It had all become,
For the illusion.

He,
Didn't want,
Me,
Anymore.

I couldn't fathom,
Something,
Such as that.

So, 
I became,
Convinced,
that no other could 
want me,
Ever again.

Til you..

You came along,
And you,
You,
Want me.

You pried,
Opened,
Into my wings,
I had wrapped,
So,
Very tightly
Around myself.

You forced them,
To open,
Spread them,
Far out,
Wide,
Shimmering,
Forced me,
To take flight,
To love
Again.

To love,
You.
And,
to let
you love me.
To let you,
Want me,
To fly with you.

Thank you.
