reine ;

Fly;

A sparrow builds a nest,
Lays its eggs, hatches them,
Rears them.
And they fly away.
Another sparrow sees the nest,
Lays its eggs, hatches them,
Rears them.
Again, they fly away.
Yet another see the nest,
Lays eggs, hatches eggs,
Rears little sparrows,
And, still, flies away.

Like the nest that never leaves,
Time goes on by,
Some of us stay where we are.
Unmoving.
Watching the same cycle repeat itself,
Unable to change matters.

Years go by, and still,
Rooted to the place where you
First felt put together,
Complete.
People come in,
They waltz out.
You still remember the one who built you.
You stay where you are.
Because,
The one who had completed you
Flew away.
Forgot to make you wings
While they were putting you together.

Words don't seem to come out right these days, falling short of what I want them to be. Like rain, sometimes there's just so much to say; at times there's none to speak. Emotions rage, moods fluctuate. I don't know what to do at times. There's so much I'd like to do sometimes, but most of all, I want to run away. Escapism seems to be the story of my life. So much confusion, so much frustration. Too much tears.

You'd Never

I place myself in your hands,
I watch you treat me like glass,
Like porcelain, something you're afraid of breaking.
I wanted to say
I won't break I'm made of sterner stuff.

I let you lead me to wherever,
You tread gently.
Like ashes, you're afraid the ground would crumble
beneath me, and no one would pick me up.
I wanted to say,
No matter what I know you'd never let me fall
Even if you had to brace the fall for me.

You'd never let me down,
Never break me into pieces.
I'd trust you with everything and more
You treat me like I'm breakable sometimes
Because if I were to crack the slightest,
You know you'd shatter.
I know you would never let me down,
'Cause baby, you love me.

And I know,
Wherever I go,
When you are there,
I'd never have to worry,
Because you're out there fighting my battles.
And when you aren't,
I'd still not worry,
Because love, you're always in my heart.

And what words can't say,
I'd like to show you.
For the rest of our lives.
