Secret Code Poem by Erika Conti

It's always joyful
always hopeful
always sweet
the way our eyes meet
no veils nor mysteries
you read me eternally

It always hurt
tearing our hearts apart
to realize
these meets are just temporary
our souls so afraid
and aching
begging to stay united

Music as a tool
poems as a message board
helpless
our minds wander
in the constant dream
of something
we have no idea
on how to achieve

burning to ash
all fears all pride all shame all hesitations
i offer you my heart naked
yes
and raw
yes
but stronger now

you saved me
