What Do They Say About Every Beginning?

The words you say come out like daggers
Yet they never pierce the skin
They merely sit there
In anticipation
As if merely their presence
Will invoke gashes into my soul
Your eyes rest beautifully
Surrounded by years
Of effects
Of sights seen
Of a distant life
Of faded memory
And yet you spill these truths
Forth from filled cup
I am left gathering the remains
I confess
I try to fix
Your rainbow of memories aren't awaiting an outsider
They're waiting for you to face your demons
The whole world is rooting for you
And if not the whole world
Then at least me
Because I've studied this battle
It's you versus them
David versus Goliath
Ego versus Id
I hope
That at the end of this
I will be able to run a victory lap
Right beside you
