Today something died inside me.
I felt it shudder and heard the scream
and it just melted off me
like snow from a storm
when you come indoors.
Something in me died
-It was my fears.
Today, something crumbled to dust inside me
fell apart, stone by stone
leaving nothing but ruins
easy to climb,
to conquer just by a look,
sliding down, drowning in the stormy rivers.
Today, something in me crumbled
-It was my defenses.
Today, something past away inside me
I felt it calm and still
and just faded away
into darkness.
Flickering and going out
like a candle in the storm.
-It was my worries.
Today, I lost something.
Something that so very long
has been an integrated part
of my self.
Not losing as much as
being replaced by assurance
that you are no dream.
-It was my loneliness.
