Realize
How do I realize
what is in front of my face,
but not easy to understand
What is staring dead at me,
but I don't want to accept
what is breaking my heart
but at an hourly pace...
I knew I should have tried harder
to shade my eyes from your fire
but
I thought I'd rather welcome
the warmth for once...
So now I'm stuck-
between denial and acceptance
of what I think can't be true,
but the wind whispers otherwise...
