Inside My World
Sometimes you look in someone’s eyes
And see something you’ve never seen before
Maybe it’s a new shade of blue
That you never knew existed
Or maybe it’s the twinkle
Of a star you’ve never seen.
But when I looked in your eyes
I fell,
And fell,
And fell,
And it never felt like it would end
But it did
When I hit the bottom.
And it was nothing like what people describe.
I didn’t feel lost or alone or afraid,
I felt safe.
I could look at a whole world surrounding me and see you in all of it
You were the sky covering me with it's sunny smile,
Your hair was the twisty tree roots I kept tripping on,
Your eyes were the mud I happily squished my toes in.
I heard birds chirp metal melodies
That I realized I actually love.
You were in the winking waters that reflected loving light onto me
And at the center of the most beautiful world I had ever seen was a beating red heart.
Your heart.
It kept the world warm for me.
It lifted me up with your support when I needed it.
And all I could wish for was to be even closer to it.
So I dug
Deep into the depths of the soul soil
And although I fear I will someday have to leave
I have entered the most beautiful world I have ever seen.
My heart found a flower
You strategically left at my doorstep
Of the little house you built me in your soul
And my heart is now attached to the flower
But more importantly to you
And I’m not going anywhere.
