You gave me just enough oxygen to light myself on fire
Tahlia-rayne Apr 2021
I'm sitting in my kitchen
It's dark and I feel alone
You're in my bed so close but I feel so disconnected to your sleeping mind right now
Do you think about everything I think about?
What could be or how it could fall apart?
How your fingers don't touch me the same way theirs do?
Or how your voice brings calm to my mind like nobody else could
You might be my happy place and I hope it doesn't scare you
I wish I knew what you thought about this
About us
Maybe one day you'll tell me

When you're with me all I think about is you
How you touch me
How you taste
Your sweet words comforting me and softening my chest
But when you're gone my mind pulls it all apart
Tearing the memory apart until I'm sure I was in it alone

I think I'm just a little bit scared right now
Everything feels so comfortable so fast with you
Do I have a right to feel this safe?
So happy?
Why does it worry me so?

You're in my bed counting sheep
Blissfully unaware that my mind is pulling apart my thoughts and stitching them back together over and over
What if this is one sided?
Am I in this feeling alone?
I know you'll eventually make your way out of this and move on to the next
But what if you feel this too?

Poetry isn't often born from a happy soul
But the taste of your lips keeps strings of words flowing through my mind
Endless
I could write sonnets about your deep dimples
Taste your lips for weeks on mine
Feel the warmth of your hands long after you're gone
My reckless anxiety calms at the thought of your breath in my ear
With you things are good again

You're slowly growing into something important
I didn't realise until I started to miss your warm hand on my lower back
Or the way your mouth curls up on the side when I say something ridiculous
Or your head on my chest wrapped tight in a blanket that seems to hold me together when you do something that makes my emotions spill out
You're something I didn't quite see coming
