I Lead This Life - Kelsey Berrier

I lead this life


Unbounded by love

Far-reaching into every corner

Trickling through the cracks

Of a broken conscience

Among other shattered things

Never to leave.



I lead this life

Listening to the songs of my heart

Crying out your name

In a melody of true desire

Harmonizing with the bittersweet sounds

Of forgotten love

Making one final stand.



I lead this life

Waiting for the day of realization

And hoping for the long-awaited reaction

That only my mind has seen

Yet knowing it will always be that way

And acceptance flows over and hardens

My heart, frozen in time.



I lead this life

Stolen from under me like my breath

When I feel the intensity of your gaze

Or the soft caress of your skin

And it’s just like love all over again

Brutal and raw, hammering all my senses

Leaving me throbbing when you go.



I lead this life

As a modest offering

A declaration of my truest and deepest feelings

Unleashed at last

To go wherever they please

But always choosing to remain

With you.
