A soft echo
Which could easily be mistaken
As a gentle whisper
Causes my hands to shake
Uncontrollably
As I continue to repeat
The only words I can remember to speak.

I never imagined
All of the insecurities rendered
From sixteen years of life
Could vanish within seconds
All in part
Of a vague
And charitable kiss.
Could you be this person
To outlaw my bitterness?

I once knew this boy
Who cried in fear of me
In shades of gray,
He was the darkest I have ever
Truly seen.
I gave up on him
And myself
Believing his lies were true.
He made me believe,
Constantly,
That I would never find you.

Against my personal odds
And impeccable fate,
I have ruined his castle
Of obsessive love
To that of which
This courageous damsel
Can no longer
Be in distress.
