Best of me..

I want to drink the air

Live in the sunset 

taste the water 

emerge from it new

washed clean from all I’ve seen..

layer after layer I shed my skin

Looking for the freedom of where to begin 

Only to find the same eyes pulling me back again..

What does it matter that I shed the outside gone-

my insides whirl round and round owning me strong..

I could choose to give in to all of my sins

Or reach out my hand to the one I know so well -

The best of me..

There you are standing tall

I exist because you chose to fall

Thank you for loving me through it all..
