Into that part of you that protects me from my paltry past.
I mean to lay my pain at your feet, and walk away quietly
As somehow you always know what to do with wasted weight.
I mean to flee this sadness, and boldly bury myself
In the warmth and security of your eager embrace.
I mean to forgive my hollow heart, once and for all
For shutting down so completely and leading me forever astray.
I mean to open my soul, and allow you real access
To this place you have dwelled so secretly since I have known you.
I mean to do all this, and yet I stand here, fearfully
Staring off into the distance that separates our two lives
Knowing what could be will never be.

I Mean To........

I mean to put this anger down, and leap boundlessly
Into that part of you that protects me from my paltry past.
I mean to lay my pain at your feet, and walk away quietly
As somehow you always know what to do with wasted weight.
I mean to flee this sadness, and boldly bury myself
In the warmth and security of your eager embrace.
I mean to forgive my hollow heart, once and for all
For shutting down so completely and leading me forever astray.
I mean to open my soul, and allow you real access
To this place you have dwelled so secretly since I have known you.
I mean to do all this, and yet I stand here, fearfully
Staring off into the distance that separates our two lives
Knowing what could be will never be.

Heartfelt and the sadness radiated from the poem enveloped me. Good job.
