Electrify

So long departed
When anger played the largest part
I held onto the belief
That in you was someone you were afraid of
Someone good, but vulnerable

Time as it's been said heals all wounds
But time also creates more
In an infinite loop of opened scabs , scarring over
I can see your wounds are stagnant
The one that really matters, may always hurt

I didn't try to find you
I tried to fight your electricity pulling me to you
And I failed and failed and failed again
Like we're side by side on different plains
You are too far away on this one
Yet the thoughts you send to me
Electrify

Together, sitting, hand in hand
Eye to eye
Soul to soul
We became once
And to become again, I know
May change, to fade the scars
We created for each other

In the silence we hold now
We are who we let ourselves be
Together

Let go

Give in

Love

and

Electrify

About this poem:
This came to me after watching a very...umh...anyways, a movie...about casual relationships where they both ended up falling in love with each other and didn't know how to accept it and just fully fall with each other. I am engaged, but this is our 2nd time around because we both had to grow and create more pains and joys. We live 3 hours apart currently so it's been a long time since we've seen each other. So, in our relationship, we are accepting faults, scars, wounds, fears, you name it, that we've accumulated over time, and let our senses electrify each other in our changes over time

Very very true:) My fiance's mom was abusive, and abandoned him and he had tough times in foster care, so his environment made him messed up. He's accepted and forgiven her, even if she won't do the same for him, so, it's bitter-sweet:) And he's well worth the pain
