DEEP WATERS/SHALLOW SOULS
Dear April,
I'm about to give you my heart
Squeeze it dry - tear it in half
Let me see the broken shards
Just embrace my frail heart
Never to be put back together again
Hold my hand; I'll be here with you forever
I am filled with trepidation: Make it fade and I throw away everything
Everything that binds me to this world
The key is just out of reach
Life is out of reach
My dreams no longer matter; no turning back
Dear April - I am yours
Falling hopelessly into dissolution
I won't remain tethered to this futility
The words spin in my head:
“You fear me, but I cannot discern what the greater fear is:
Losing me forever, or loving me without pause”
But as the sun disappears; a spark of light is found in the dark
The night sky speak life into my lungs
I cry, I scream - yet the silence seems to swallow it all
The pain I've buried deep down in the core of my being is waking up again
I can't reach the key
So close, yet so far away
The tree's whispers are torture - they jeer at me
Their hissing is just a reminder of my indiscretions
Hold my hand; I'll be here with you forever
The key is just out of reach
Life is out of reach
--
This poem is about Richard Sumner, a man who died after handcuffing himself to a tree after throwing away the key. He changed his mind later.. but the key was out of reach.
What do you think of this? Again - I am from Sweden, but I try my best! Thank you SO much for reading, please feel free to leave a comment and/or a like! God bless

Hello robo I tried to comment the other day but my connection let me down. This is written so beautifully with such emotion and deep felt consideration to the subject you mention in your footnotes.
Dear April I am yours. Loved that. Thank you syn
