Eat Up, Sweetness

It tagged me out -

that slide to down.

Took me round

for spiral's sake. No slake

of thirst for joy.

The boy who offered

all I ever wanted

taunted me with

promises he never

meant to keep.

So deep I fell into

his welled depravity,

that gravity could not

defy until the bottom

scraped my brow.

No soul stays in

torment while there's

breath to push away

the pain. The gain,

by my design, is

waiting by - to try.

Dear heart, your star

is set to shine. Pay no

mind to what's behind.

Down's but half of

the equation; up and out

the balance that will

heal. Feel the you

inside that chooses life.

Then see us

standing

by your side.
