No bravery for love...




Love unravels me,
constantly. 

To have 
any sense 
of self 
is futile,

when I know
that 
the only thing
that is constant 
in my life,

is that
of cathartic 
experiences. 

Experiences,
that will drive me to tears

break me
and 
shake me, 

leaving me 
naked and defenseless , 
regardless 
of the 
elements involved. 

Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn..

Who cares? 

Rain, snow, sunshine...

Sometimes,
I wish that 
I didn't have to carry so much.

Why does Love trust me so much to carry its message? 

I don't feel that brave, after all.

Give me my wings,
before I fall.
