bee

Overflowing with passion.

One by one, those were stolen,

Ripped away by people who should have cared

But didn’t.

I was just beginning to refill

Relearning to speak

Removing the shade protecting my soul.

But it isn't time, yet.

So I'll put the shade back,

I'll keep my words

Because still that love of life falls on deaf ears.

No, dont be sad

I know im not

Why?

Because death doesn't have to mean the end

Death can signify change

So I embrace my death

Because the me you see today?

Is changed from that person you knew

Dull colors sitting at the peripheral

After all, what use is hue when you're only allowed shades of blacks and grays?

But I am free of shadows, and more lost for it

What am I to do with this new light when its blinding me?

How do I process colors that pain me to see?

They say the world is a symphony but all I hear is a cacophony

I dont long to be thrust into the shadows once again

I'd scream until my vocal cords give out

But please

Someone show me how to paint the sunset so I may be able to leave the void of before behind

I dont want to be cold again

But I need help to learn to live in the warmth

But maybe back is worse

Maybe back is scary

Maybe here is where I've been happiest.

They say "let's go back"

Everything is too loud

But tonight?

Tonight I take refuge

And find quiet

But for you, darling?

I could believe in anything.

You stole a permanent piece of my heart

And no matter what the world throws our way,

I know we'll survive

Because we've already walked through fire.

So take my hand,

Cutting my rope

Reclaiming my freedom

Days are still dark

But the stars lead the way

They talk about the big moments in life Marriage, kids, a home Growing up

But that's not where life lives No, life is moments, not events

So take that risk Get that pet Try that thing Laugh at that joke

Because that is where you'll find life Because that is where you'll find love Because that is where you'll find happiness

To avoid our p r o b l e m s

But maybe we should pull t h a t s t r i n g

So peak b e h i n d t h e m e s s

You'll be surprised what y o u ' l l s e e

Because a wound t o d a y

Can be healed tomorrow

For the unravel prompt

Mourning someone who no longer exists

But today? Today, there is light

And was told it was warmth

Until one day, I believed them

I didn't see the frostbite, didn't feel the chill

Now I've experienced warmth, true warmth

I will never let someone leave me in snow again

I've tasted true happiness

"Somehow you need me, while half the time, I feel unwanted."
