oni
i find myself feeling
so small
so insignificant
at the worst times

like when
your hand is in mine
and your fingers can traverse
such a large expanse

while i can barely
manage to hold on
to anything
for too long

and even when
i find my grip
the other side
lets go
You want me to hurt
Because I can feel it when you touch me
And I will gladly take your pain and run
Past the moon and beyond the sun
And burn it all away
So it doesn't come back another day
Because you are every other thought on my mind.
Love doesn't age nor is it confined in a cage
It's beautiful and free
It's everything you could hope it to be
Because my love for you is real
Just as every other thing you make me feel
And if you took your life tonight
I would wish you the sweetest dreams,
My dark prince.
And I would never feel my heart beat again
Only as it breaks.
As this hole inside me grows
It swallows, blackens, deepens, numbs
Yet somehow remains the only thing
Left to comfort me

My hand in my own hand
I stand on these two calloused feet
Worn from the countless times
I have walked alone

No one is there to wipe my tears
Or whisper sweet ramblings of comfort
The echoes of their empathy
Vanish within the depths

This pit unnerves and dampens
Each time I think I've grown stronger
I only dig and descend deeper
Into singularity
My lonely worship
A beautiful new dawn
Freed from pretty lies

Protection divine
His kiss laid upon my brow
A sanctuary

The song from above
This poor pilgrim's heart is light
Submerged in the spirit

Fortified in you
The sons and the daughters rest
Singing out your name

— The End —
