Safe Harbor

I can’t breathe
I’m stuck in between my heart and my soul
I can no longer live like a candle in the wind
Waiting out the storms where I spent my youth
Anchoring in any harbor appearing to be safe
Holding close to dreams that were never meant to become
Reality
Setting in like a stone resting on my brain
Scattering my thoughts
My conscious self
Getting over myself
Growing with new roots spreading out from all of the storms and heavy rains
Falling on the inside
Blowing with the whims of the winds
Never facing the winds of change
Never facing me
Never really facing my demons
Clinging to hindsight and all of that bullshit
It’s time to let go
It’s time to settle my ship in a harbor safe and sound
Setting my head to rest on the breast of a beautiful soul
As kind as the moon smiling down and with compassion raining down like the storms in my head
My own creations taking hold
Holding me prisoner to beliefs that I can’t even take faith in
Not again
Never again

As I set sail on a new chapter in my life I will have faith in the only thing I can grasp and understand
Love
Her heart
Ample and abundant
Resting my ship in her safe harbor
Braving only the storms brought by the rage of a past I can’t escape
Knowing she understands and places my weary pondering considerations between her hands
Letting them go with the tide
Letting them go
I can no longer live like a candle in the wind
Waiting out the storms where I spent my youth
Anchoring in any harbor appearing to be safe
