Why are you so afraid <br />To sink in my eyes once more <br />You won’t find anything <br />But all you've been looking for <br />Yesterday and the day before <br /> <br />I am forbidden from sinking into yours <br />But my soul still speaks to your soul <br />As one both whisper the same warning <br />Each wall we build will be in vain <br />And will always and forever fall <br /> <br />Crushing down and causing us pain <br />Penance for separations <br />And ground for returns <br />After all the flame lit by life once <br />Will never again turn into ice <br /> <br />The acceptance seems to be the way <br />To walk on the path that only unveils <br />One day at a time and with every breath <br />Held for unknown but driven by emotion <br />You will come to see what’s in my eyes <br /> <br />Only devotion<br /><br />Joanna Pavlides<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/devotion-39/
