Chilled air knocks against a dainty window,
But warmth is pumped from his tender heart
My fingers run across his delicate chest
His velvet skin, the most beautiful art.
A chill runs up his skin, in response to my touch
He whispers painful words, misunderstood
But the shakiness in his voice stabs my conscious,
Because I can’t leave him, even though I should.
I’m just a person of mistakes he’ll never forgive
I’m in love with the person to whom I cannot make up
I can’t breathe without him, but now he’s running out of breath
Like he’s taking small sips from a death cup
His deep eyes slightly open, as mine meet their entrance
I long for his responding touch, as I stare into them
But his eyebrows draw together in terrible agony:
He remembers who I am.

Favorite Quote:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
-Marianne Williamson
