Sometimes...

Sometimes, your heart needs

To simply learn how to trust more

To sometimes break down and cry

Tightly locked behind endless rows

Of uninviting steel doors

Sometimes, your spirit wants to fall away

Sadly disappear, into infinity

And forget the anguished nights

And empty loneliness

That can sometimes fill a day

Sometimes, when the lights go out

And shadows arrive to keep you company

Your heart can sometimes begin to quiet,

Fall to faint whispers, instead of

Remembering how to stand up and shout

Sometimes, without love and constant caring

You can only do so much right

For it has always been a universal truth

A plant can only grow and flourish

When placed in its very best light
