Avoidance

My burnt and beaten heart shudders with each pang of reluctant desire. Each tremor that rocks through, jars me from my level headed perch in the giant tree of ever branching truths. I climb in my attempt to escape the sting of unanswered pleas only to discover it follows, stalking my heels as I climb ever higher into my vision of what is true. So far from the unhealthy ground that always appears to be awaiting my fall and seems eager to take me into its heart once my own weak one finally fails me both in love and ultimately in life.
