Thrilling scents flutter
Scarlet petals confirm pain...

On that long ago
Summer vacation...

This is such a big step
There is so much to consider...

Faces of many kinds
Lay scattered across the pages...

Slowly moving the black pen across the paper
The words that choke my insides are finally free...

Every soundless plea that calls
Every jagged tear that slowly falls...

Flashes of anger; cravings of pain
Ruby tears filled with lost memories...

Tiny droplets slither down cheeks;
Scarlet lips shiver in open distress...

I carefully write out
The lines of my life...

My heart
Is like a vault...

Why does this hurt so bad
How can I still love you...

Tiny sparkles fly
Sprinkling pixie dust with joy...
