Barricade

learning to let go.

When I close my eyes its nothing but pure serenity, I’m feeling the touch of innocence never knowing something so exquisite. I am falling toward the beaming glow of perpetual bliss as your hands caress every word trying to escape my trembling lips.  Too weak to fight but too strong to give in, I'm too hesitant and powerless to stop the nuisance. The flame is burning out now and for you the passion is gone. I can’t stand the sight of our picture turned upside down. When I hear that chorus I think of all the times we had before us. You can keep your listless memories, they mean for good company…

                I have never had a taste of heaven without a little hell to pay.

                That picture remains upside down; the smiles are nowhere to be found... the song I was singing is now trapped behind the barrier I out before myself.
