I see distance
From what was
Once pain.
A paved road
Lies behind
Each square
Marking a story.
I see distance
From who
I once were
And yet
I am now
So much closer
To her
The lost girl.
These walls
Are now
Truly a home
My skin
Is now
My own.
I see distance
From all of that
Which created the scars
I see beauty
In each of them
The skin needed
To be cut
And the blood
Needed to be drained.
I see distance
From that time
When the scars
Have slowly disappeared.
I see distance
But I know
That time is there
Waiting for me
In the distance
That I see.

Sometimes
I seem to forget
For a brief moment
I seem to forget
The different layers
Of evil in the world.
For a brief moment
I am reminded
That good people
Can do bad things
That fear
Can darken a heart.
Sometimes
My heart feels darkened
Too.
Seeing that humans forget
Forget that being human
Is being unique
But part of a greater thing.
Humans can be cruel
Even not knowing it
Humans can bring sadness
To hide their own.
Maybe the hardest evil
To fight
Is that one
No one sees
Blended in with normality
Hurting another soul
Because they do not know.
Sometimes
I seem to forget
That people forget.

So…
Love is a moment.
That one moment
When everything changes
You realize
There’s a bit of you
Which now lives
In someone else’s.
A moment of pain and bliss.
Blissful pain, perhaps.
Love is the moment
You realize
And the moment
You have no clue.
How to make it right
Is not a question
All is right
Even if it is wrong
All is unsure
But life is an adventure
And love reminds you
To go out and live it.
Love is the moment
Your heart smiles
And hides it’s face
At the same time;
Hope and fear.
Love is so many
Moments;
Love is but a moment,
But a moment can be
Timeless.
So…about love…
Only lovers know…
