tentative desire based on heavy speak
exploring fourteen ways to say i care
virtual mirror, repeats everything,
including the parts i dare not tread on
self trespess into dark waters i thought
didn't exist - areas long since forgotten
two candles guide me back from lost waters
beacons in a dim soul stretching out
aching for help. to be needed. something
