The Labyrinth

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
