lady bugs

Winter skies came and they changed my heart. The dark eyed stranger that felt like art.  

The ladybug flew in and she landed on me. I lit up and smiled, knowing what we could be.

With you and my light, I felt whole and so strong, not a moment too soon... you'd prove I was wrong. 

Your heart in my chest disturbing my sleep.
My dreams you've consumed... Prophetic and deep.

So sweet to me, your name shifts the day. Really doesn't matter what it is you say.  

The way that you touch. My skin craves your breath. Sometimes apart, it feels like a death. 

I can't understand how one man is two? Distant and cold, but beautiful and true?  

But fall! She arrived and I've begun to see clear. I opened my eyes and looked in your mirror.  

Another ladybug today and she danced in the sun. I set her love free so you don't have to run.  

So grateful I am as you've helped me to heal. With a sigh I let go and felt something real. 

I hope that you know just how beautiful you are. A painful awakening, but my favorite by far.
