A Waltz With Chairs

For the first time I stand on my own With two chairs in front of me Where they used to sit Then I went outside But the sun scared me So I went back inside and slow danced with the chairs Their ghosts wouldn't dance with me I knew it was impossible But I wanted it to be Now today I went outside I still danced with them in a field this time Things are looking brighter But that might just be the sun Their ghosts wouldn't dance with me I know it's impossible But I'm still hoping And I know one day I'll be with them And they'll dance with me, ghost or human Do you remember when I took you to see the Christmas lights? They lit the way through The cold, cold air and leftover snow You smiled as the bulbs conjoined into their displays We has waited and withered through the year to get to that I wish I could have held your hand But we were separated by a screen Our love had grown so much up to that The way we loved It was so beautiful Having gotten to this place We were so in love. After you left three months later I swore no one could love me again But this only hindered my ability to receive love You need to be open to people Not that that will bring you love No love is deserved Only earned through a series of everything You earn the love you think you deserve Love requires your whole heart Are you willing to give it? And when I stand up and find you remain taller I will stay content This is where and how I stand Despite being medically taller Do you remember when I took you to see the Christmas lights? You were lit up with joy Until all of a sudden you became quiet and sad I'll never know why Maybe humans are just sad sometimes And that is okay To feel the weight of any mental strain I wonder what choices I could have made to avoid distance tearing us apart But I understand there is no going back All things are earned through a series of choices But not everything that comes in this earning is deserved That is why life is so messy But love is only earned if permitted on both sides If one side does not want love Then how could you love? Love requires everyone to give love Are you willing to give it? I hope now, more than anything that your earnings post choices gift you splendid Experiences No one deserves evil unless earned My life is different without you But I can still love and enjoy life I will breathe now...
