Flying Lessons or Knowing Your Flight Log

look
you truly
do not
understand
my heart

I have
dreams
with wings
painfully taught
in lessons

afraid
alone and broken
I learned
to fly

I am now
unable to sit
breath suspended
in your
uncompromisization
on ragged
rough angles

disappointing
my life

on the possibility

of waiting
for edges
that may
never melt
to smooth

real love is
not
in the
take off
it is in
the landing

As I'm sure I have said before, you are indeed skilled at endings.  This one is wise as well.

[[[hugs]]] for your disappointment
