I am losing my love, the one I seek.
I am losing my love. The one I need.
The one I know.
The one I grow.
I am losing my love. The one that breathes.
I am losing my love- the one that says.
‘ It will be okay.’
‘ It will be fine.’
‘ You can fly.’
‘ You are beautiful inside.’
‘ Don’t listen to the horrors inside your M.I.N.D’
We will find beauty in a new way.
We will find beauty in a new truth.
The beauty lives in Y.O.U.
Y.O.U can’t lose this bloom.
Remember I am here with you.
I am losing my way.
I have lost the door.
I have lost the key.
I am within the trees.
I am within the roots.
I am within you.
I can’t see.
Who will I be?
Who will survive?
This fading disguise.
I open my eyes,
to endless sky.
I see dreams.
The voices have disappeared
All that is left is M.E.
A beast with a wondering disease.
I feed on vulnerability.
I feed on pain.
I feed on truth.
I feed on blame.
I feed on desire.
I feed on Y.O.U
I feed my roots,
With nourishing truths.
Nourishing my soil,
Nourishing my name,
I am a process of change.
Discarding. Decomposing. Disintegrating.
Evaporating.
Fading.
Changing.
I break through,
To see,
Nothing but M.E.
Beyond my chains,
There is being with freedom in its veins
Beyond my chains,
There is a being with love at its core.
Beyond my chains,
I am no more.
I am the volcanic floor.
I am the tide.
I am the changing sky.
I am being that has learnt to fly.
I am being that has learnt to fly.
I am alive.
