I walked away unable of full compassion, and strength became a tool unused. Her words are like nails that puncture my conscience, hanging what was dances alone neatly in my mind.

Claim me once again, of romance the intent of love, shake away my thoughts, and bare me your generosity of rest.

Control me once again…
