I thought I could do it on my own
forge my way forward, climb the ladder
reach the top.
I was in love with the struggle
overcoming the barriers
see how great I am
look what I’ve overcome.
On my own, just me.
The primitive part that kidnapped
held me in thrall
chained me to destruction
destroyed me in ego hell.
In my dark inner place
the loneliness and grief
aching need for love
desire for you fills me
to be cleansed.
I seek your understanding and sublimation
Your soft voice in my soul
the splinter of you inside me
whisper of love
desire for you fills me
to be wrapped up.
I seek your touch and approbation
I find you when I go inside
when I’m the best that I can be
a splinter of you
and also in your eyes

Your dark, my light. Contrasts are good. And in Fib style:
I
wish
to you
a very
contented Christmas
and truly creative New Year.

I love the splinter imagery here, because it makes me think of that Dutch fairytale (?) where the boy gets a shard of ice caught in his eye and it distorts his soul until his friend makes him cry and he becomes whole again: the flow of water as emotion that cleanses.
Simple, powerful and vulnerable all at the same time. Great vocabulary. I also liked the I seek your lines - like chanting in a religious service.
