Myth

You’re a fable.

You’re a myth.

Beauty like yours exits only in tales.

Love like this exists only in stories.

Yet here you are.

You are a dream come to life. So don’t go. I want to see this dream forever.

I’m moving forward, oh yes, I believe.

Yet I feel I’m being pulled back too.

No. I’m being dragged down to depths beneath.

But I hear calls telling me, “fly high soon.”


I’m getting dizzy, so I close my eyes.

My head is hurting, so I shut my ears.

My body aches, so I muffle my cries.

All to convince myself I’m not in tears.


In this moment I chose to embrace it.

Why run from the pain? It’s better than death.

It means there’s candles in this temple, lit.

Seek the source of this flame so I may mend;


Mend my heart and mind, for in chasing the world I lost myself,

And lost the one who kept the light shining in me all Himself.
