~Truth~

so many
feelings still
left in
my arsenal
but I end
up never
getting a
chance to
show it

cue the
salt in
the wound
real people
smell like
pine resin

waiting for
things to happen
is like
watching the
seasons change
the air is changing
and I
get excited

hopeful again
finally the
bundle of
tears is
gone forever

there's grief
and there's worship
it's over
face the truth
the ship
has sailed
in one
true direction
not for
nothing
no more weights
tied to
the ground
no more
pretending now
