Orion

    

“Orion”

So many people can look at me.

They know that I would treat my partner right.

I Lack the ability to know,

Who will or will not leave me lacking any sort of light.

  

I can’t walk down that road again,

I’ll not be enticed by romantic notions.

I will not again place my heart,

In a space of misplaced devotions.

 

But it all isn’t bad.

I did get the chance to love with my all.

I held each and every star,

I cradled Orion before my fall.

So I can clearly see how someone might feel,

I’m denying another from knowing my love.

I just can’t be broken like that again,

I just lack the strength to lift myself up again.
