something I hope you’ll read (interlude)

how can I speak for the ghosts that still surround me?

ones I’ve created, tears that I’ve lost

blinded by them and myself until I saw you.

a chrome of light unknown,

a start of the past’s new.

in my mind, I only see the forest

enriched in emotion, grown with peace

something I feel whenever we exchange glances

hopefully the melody from my tongue isn’t cursed in your eyes,

but something you can tune and find yourself in

that’s because it’s for you.

I think I get too lost in our world

a new reality I feel when we hold hands,

something brought to life that I’ve locked away for so long

here I am, awake, lights of the unknown above me

hoping one day I’ll hold you while I speak to them.

one day I’ll tell you. It’s too soon to know.
