Hibernation

The winter was long When the corners of the pages Blackened and curled in and I was in a coma False promises Blank faces Waxy lips Sputtering lucid lies The blood dripped from my hands I looked down in the puddle I thought it wasn't my own The tears were salty They stung against my cheeks It wasn't your fault Turns out the monsters we were hiding from Really did draw blood We thought we were so grown So brave But we have only just started growing After that long winter I fear I am blooming I'm leaving you behind But I feel every heartache Every problem where I was to blame And I love you I guess I can't say it Unless I'm begging you to stay rooted to the earth I think I'm finally free Awaking from my slumber Hungry After years of hibernation Watching the sun rise up
