Poetry: True feelings

Before the Breaking Dawn*
The fire that may burn some day
Captures the mind
Leaves me stepping slightly to the side
To see a different perspective
A different view
Of who I am
What I stand to lose
If it is indeed a fire that is so bright
Then why has it a delicacy tonight
Passion would just not be right
It is something held respective
Something that I choose
Even if in the past I sang those blues
So I ponder
And in pondering the wonder is amazing
To be me right now
Right here
Experiencing
Sensing
These feelings so frail
Is so fascinating
That I have to remember my feet are on the ground
Take a good look around
And realize I remain alone
I vow to take that trip to that stone
And come clean my feelings decades pent
So I may finally truly love
Before the breaking of dawn
Has gone
And darkness sets in

    But all I heard was crashing,
    Of my hopes

    by Dorothy Hoffman

    Shall I tell you my true feelings,
    or the lies that make you happy?
    We talk in circles around the fringes of our lives.

    you told me to
    forget that it happened

    but i will never forget

    the way you stalled
    and waited

    the way i was nervous
    and anticipated

    how
