I was your storyteller
I am your storyteller
You never knew
|all the stories my mind created
for you
excuses
to make living easier
to stay
looking for complicated answers
rather than acknowledging simple truth
unable to say a word
to give the truth or lie a voice
knowing how the knowledge
would make me crumble
so I add another chapter
Stories
He gave me a story
Something to believe
Something to make me feel special
Make me feel like we were destiny
But I had been told that story before
Different but the same
and told another version
Different but the same
And I so wanted to believe
And I can’t imagine any story to be true
Any story that involved being with me
So this time I walked away
Peace
Put your hand there
low on my belly
do you feel it?
the softness
the calm
no butterflies
no tension
nothing
but calm and peace
thank you for giving me that
