How Much

By LVA

How much we want to love
How much we want to share

our heartaches
our rejections
our traumas

Deeply we desire connection
To release

the heartaches
the rejections
the traumas

How much we want to love
How much we want to share

To be seen, witnessed, recognized

with heartaches
with rejections
with traumas

How much we build walls to prevent this release
How much we are afraid of

more heartaches
more rejections
more traumas

“I love you”

How much we need these words with presence.

“Show up as you are, it is enough”

How much we crave these words.

And we curl in tightly
Hearts guarded
Afraid to speak our truth
Because
Maybe our how much
Is too much
