Unmasked

I have awoken from the dream,

that haunts me every day.

I never thought I would meet the man,

who was in my mind to stay.

I felt like dreams and reality,

were loosely entwined.

Reality came crashing in,

it had swarmed my mind.

It was on the day,

I thought would go well.

Something changed instantly,

but I could not tell.

A feeling of being watched,

a feeling of pure fire.

If I told anyone what I saw,

they would call me a liar.

The man in my dreams,

he seemed to appear.

His eyes trained on me,

as if I would disappear.

My breath caught just slightly,

as if the wind was knocked out of me.

All recognition flooded back,

to when we came to be.

All colors melted together,

to create a different place.

One touch caused it all,

to defy time and space.

Eyes of a nondescript color,

followed my every step.

Feeling like a fire,

burning in its depth.

Thoughts all scattered,

trying to catch my breath.

Only one thing matters,

that he doesn’t burn me to death.

With his hot stare,

causing me to slowly burn.

It’s always the same,

“When will I learn?”

Not to fall so easily,

even when I am strong.

Love is not a easy feat,

but it could leave before long.

But I am held into place,

with no exit in sight.

He takes one step towards me,

and says, “Do not fight.”

Those three words startled me,

for the truth  he had said.

I was ready to run,

but chose to stay instead.

Now after all this time,

I believe in what I see.

His eyes so full of trust,

he really wants me, to be…me.

So, I take off the mask I wear,

every day to hide.

Love is what rescued me,

and I rid of my pride.

My love for all things life,

had been gone with a flash.

Now I have found it,

in the fire and ash.

My fire had been sparked,

my love is anew.

He knew what I could become,

he knew what I can do.
