Together Hours, days, weeks. Mine, I thought. We leave Together And I whisper, Mine. Each border We cross Alone together You must be Mine. I want you To stay And be And love And see. Mine. Why aren't you Mine?
Next to me Knees brush Your hair Loose strands I push back Warm skin It's easy For me But where are you I feel Your breath You feel My love But where are you
I would be better If I had wings. Burnt edges Will keep me soaring Through clouded skies. Trouble is just a word From such heights. What good is closeness If it's still a weathered chasm Empty, hungry and aching?
Revel in losses Wallow through wins Mouth full of blood Smile of sharpened blades My pulped weapon Sparks of tender resentment Let's walk across burning coals And bask in the light of victory
