Terrify me

Poem

By CadmaPublished about 17 hours ago 1 min read

You terrify me like the winds that howl beneath the night sky

You terrify me more than what haunts the Appalachia Mountains

How am I? Who am I? To comprehend and hold the light from the sky

Who am I? How am I to fill my moon with your touch?

You terrify me with your light as you take my bangs from my eyes

You terrify me with how dark I’m willing to go if anyone challenges you

What am I? Who am I? To have been so lucky to find you

Like a prophetic dream that I only thought was a tease

You terrify me how you calm my heart when it’s speeding chaotically

You terrify me how we share the same breath effortlessly

You terrify me when you tell me it’s okay to rest you’ll take watch

It terrifies me to put my shield and sword down before or with anyone

It should be me to carry the weight it is what I was breed for because I’m strong

What do you mean by rest? What is a support system?

You terrify me because you’re still so new and my heart only knows what it can’t see

You terrify me in what you see in me

If it were the other way around I could count the endless ways I feel for you

I could pull down the moon just for you to see

I would burn it all down if a hair of yours was split
