Mind’s vow: They told me, that if I were to climb to the top | Every Day Poems
Mind’s vow:
They told me, that if I were to climb to the top of this shit-hole, then I’ll have to hide my heart. But I’ve learned—those who hide their heart might eventually lose sight of it.
No more. I will not let it happen to me anymore. I will not let them take her away from me… ever, again.
Heart’s worry:
He held me tight, against his chest—like I were the last thing he had in world.
But I could see, around him, the thorns and mires closing in, threatening to imprison and suffocate him. This was the price he had to pay, for keeping me.
Was he really going to let them, closing in, hurting him and draining him out of blood? He is holding me this dearly, this… bravely.
All for the sake of keeping me alive.
Isn’t there anything I can do for him? If only I were stronger… stronger, so I could lend him my strength…
