Let it Fall Away By: Foxy Wife

Be still my beating heart as you rattle within my chest.

Where do you seek to run to if true love be not your jail.

Fear poisons you, pumping from one corner to the next

Leaving the heart restless

Eager to flee the only home it ever sought.

Shall you doubt your reflections for all time?

Fearing the illusions of the false mirrors

Can you not look at yourself?

Are not all things worthwhile tested again and again?

Is this trial of fire not but a purification right?

And if failure has occurred will you give up the war?

Concede all of your dreams

All of your hopes

All of your love for one battle lost?

What of two or three?

Shall you cower in shame, afraid to love and believe in love?

Is THIS all you are made of?

Or will you clench down and bite the leather

Accepting the wound for what it is

A lash of the whip that moves you forward.

It will not bend you!

IT WILL NOT BREAK YOU!

It will not take what you deserve from your grasp!

Lash away! With each biting stroke you will find strength to move forward

To open your ribs of solitude

To reach in and unlock the tethers and chains of fear and loneliness

To pull out the injured heart, and quit cowering under ideal of protection.

You will place it on a platter of pure silver and it WILL remain out in the open

 despite those who will lash out at it from their gilded cages of fear.

Like a torch on a moonless light when all lights have gone out

It WILL shine despite its flaws, despite your fears, despite any grievances.

You will forgive and love despite any transgressions feigned or not because YOU are a better person for it,

Because it is who YOU want to be, and in doing so the shackles of fear shall fall and never coil their venomous poisoned grip upon you again!
