ache
your father's sins, your mother's mood swings
to perfection
fall into a spin, shed another skin
strip away all your protection
laugh at the wonder of it all
laugh so loud you break the fall
and you see the gathering clouds
cry at the sadness of the world
cry so long you break its cold
and you hear the gathering sounds
do everything you fear
in this there's power
fear is not to be afraid of
laugh at the wonder of it all
laugh so loud you break your fall
and you hear the gathering sounds
come, dip on in
leave your bones, leave your skin
leave your past, leave your craft
leave your suffering heart

Act V. THE TRUTH. (Love is hard work. And, sometimes, hard work can really hurt.)
Love is a game. If they didn't tell you before, we will tell you now. Love is a game and if you play you either win, lose, or get ejected before the game is over. There are no ties. Maybe you'll lose and learn some great, meaningful answer from it all (like if it looks to good to be true, it is). It's easy to love something when you don't have to work at it. It's harder when it asks something of you. You just might be afraid to give. Give it anyway. The heart is the most resilient muscle. It is also the stupidest. So if this love you've found is good to you, hold it, keep it, shout about it. If it isn't, then maybe you should just become very good friends. |
