Jaded, but With Hope

from Storm for the Adored by Anaïs Believe

lyrics

I felt old when
I was young. Now
I feel not old
Just weary of myself,
And how I’ve stumbled
Through the garden
Tripping over ivy, roses,
Fresh green things that
Left me jaded- and
When I screamed at
You back then that
No one had hurt
Me worse; I know
Now the blade I
Twisted, knowing you
Knew what came before
And I didn’t mean
It, darling, not in
The way I fear
You took it to mean-
I meant how can
I love you so, in
This way that burns
Through my chest,
And not feel the
Way you felt
Within me, no,
I always held
That tourniquet
You tied off
Tightly, I couldn’t
Face my blood
And I am the
One long scabbed
And scarred over,
It’s nothing,
No great mystery
Poured out
I was waiting
For a declaration
And I can wait
Til my dying
Day, my chest
Still burns, my
Darling, the
Fire rages on.
