"The powerful play goes on and you may contribute your verse." - Whitman


I have known cruel touches

I have seen pits of hell

I have heard the sore screams

Of bitter angels wrapped in pain


At once you were Midas

My skin was new, pale gold

So flaky and fragile

And gentle you were with my heart still


I see fire differently

It is deep with passion

Warm with faith and safety

You burn it like you must be happy 


I dare not hear the pain

Of love’s lost pasts in vain

Just the things they taught me

The hurt they gave to make yours so good

Finally finding that person who teaches you what it's really like to love and be loved after hurting for so long is a pretty magical thing.
