Finding Balance

hollow words
falling softly,
snowflaking my walkway,
weighing like lead
on my confidence.
hunchbacked and distraught
like i just fought
the only enemy ive ever known,
like ive just fought myself
in a storm.
my eyes are too heavy to open,
your truth is so
empty of me
while mine is so full of you
i struggle to see myself clearly.

i slip away at night
getting lower as i get high,
high on wanting nothing more
than to run and to hide.
and not know
whats in store.
i chase away your demons but find
that they're the only
company by my side.
you want nothing more than to be mine,
all i want is for your heart
to be right.
