When You’ve Always Lived Your Life In Disguise
By Crissy Hahn
Fire inside
That isn’t learned
Intensity confirms this heat was earned
Magnetic to touch
Drawing you in from outside
Forced to face an inability to hide
Dangerous ground
She is afraid to be found
Broken pieces
A life of much treason
Heat is no surprise
Accompanied by longing its demise
Of the suffering and fear
Hurting those held so dear
Seduced by a flame
Words cannot explain
In the eyes of her beholder
Her tired spirit awakens from smolder
Cynical heart grown weary
Love is nothing but a theory
Heart kept blinded
Resisting leaving confinement
Holding the secrets
To repay her loves debt
True beauty derives
A forgotten little girl removes her disguise
