Her Song

My butterflies began to smile again. They felt the breadth of her octaves Caress my scarring tissue Please forgive me. Please Forgive me I lost myself. It was the first time in many weeks That my heart smiled With such enamored caution I ached to slow dance with her apologies, As she sang to me With her hazel renditions Unspoken Our teardrops buckled Under the weight Of silenced reflection I thought I could make it through tomorrow By removing you from my yesterdays But, today, I now see I was wrong She quietly cried upon my tattered arms Pressing her moistened sadness Against my elastic grin “Tomorrow can be for us again.” It was then The stars outside my bedroom window Faded towards reality’s sunrise Was this dream All that it seemed ©D.J.E.

Words are a reflection of love, of moments caressing a dream. Perhaps- the truth that circles reality. Your thoughts are tender, beautiful and they hold so many emotions. I am wrapping them gently around me. ~ Brandy
