Polarities

A quick shy glance into his eyes told me
that everything I dreamed would come to pass
But stumbling blind and beaten recently
I've been shown that real love will never last
Shut memories of him into a void
where empty space and numbness will preside
over hope and trust. Lead me to a choice
of missing heartbeats when I am beside
a hidden, rocky path that led me home
The safest place I knew was in his kiss
or lying beneath his soft, husky tone
Before I felt his absence and the shift
in polarities of love without pain:
The difference between stable and insane
