I had wanted comfort for so long, I thought I found it
Most people think the beginning is fun but to me it is a labyrinth
Scary, unfamiliar, and full of pitfalls to navigate
I’m always too much or not enough, unlovable in any state
But I stood with arms outstretched
And for a moment, you were there
Eyes befitting of a deep soul
Calm when I was scared, steady when I was unsure
I wanted a gentle love
But love never wants to be gentle with me
You learn to navigate by touch in the dark
Maybe thats why it was so easy to feel when you pulled away
Those eyes could see everything except the good in me
It is hard to let go, even harder to beg
We were supposed to bask in each other’s warmth, not burn each other down
That door takes two people to open
Two people who had both been alone too long
Too much and not enough
