My heart is a jewel box
Waiting for you to open,
Full of mysterious origins,
The way your dream polished mine,
Your beauty could move mountains,
Your soul could soothe the sea,
Sweet 16, beholden to grace,
Look far beyond the present,
To places we once wandered,
Cresting earthen palaces to ribbons,
Holding you in my arms under the stars
On the roof of the world,
Where time is thick as patience.
But that life never unfolded,
Could never breathe through letters,
Wrapped in fear, insecurities,
Bound by my twisted traumas, sensitivities,
Suffocating fears translated drowning tears,
I never even told you
How much I loved you,
