There is every chance you may fail
but you may also succeed
caught between the bait and the switch
you choose what hooks you

Love may not find you when you want
but it will when it sees you ready
responsive to its rhythm instead of yours

Perhaps your questions burn into your need to know now
but your fire must consume itself first
before the soil under murmurs promise

The lost opportunity
The regret of a decision
The judgment in which you stay
frozen

Feel your pain
Claim your shame
Rebuild the wreck of your heart, your body
Let go
In the mirror’s reflection
With a record selection
Be dancing with yourself
