all my life i have been sitting here, heart in my throat, eyes open, waiting for the return of innocence and the arrival of love.
and love passed by. i felt its grace by my side and its head on my shoulder. i found that it would not fill me. i am just a little paper cup filled with all the wrong things and burst at the seams, unable to be full of anything.
but i have tasted its flavor and watched in horror as it ran through me, searching for something to take hold of, but finding only tears in the seams.
all my life i will be sitting here, heart in my throat, eyes open, waiting to return to innocence and for the return of love.
