possibilities...

in the darkness of my mind
through the weakness of my desires
when all my restless soul could do
was just hold on until the dawn

my heart squeezed and
infused a purposeful life
into my aimless existence

I held eternity in my hands
that soft touch of
all possibilities and little certainty
all senses, every emotion
intense, weak, fearful and brave
all at the same time

promises filled with fear
love filled with anger and jealousy
but still caring

with that sweet squeeze in my heart
for just that moment
I lost and then found myself
I pledged my heart and then let myself fall
