YouMe Sep 9

Sunshine

If I was to walk into Heaven
And not find you there.
I would step back out
Past those pearly gates.
I would skip across the clouds into the great unknown,
Calling out your name into the cosmos.

My love.
If such is the case,
May you come find me
Walking amongst the stars.
Looking for you until they've all but burnt up,
In the hope that I could once again find
The light you shine.

Numb

If I was told
To list the similarities between
My emotions
And your love.
It would be that I can't feel
Either one.

Falling Out

Like a hangnail,
Flayed back and bleeding.
I've been picking at this festering wound.
The stinging pain is the only reminder.

Forecast

The clouds have gathered
Without you here to whisk them away.
You always brought the sun
To my rainy days.

Divine

Lock me away in a reliquary
House me in the halls of your worship
I am a blind pilgrim longing for your embrace
A martyr burned at the pyre of your love.

YouMe Aug 26

Spark

Make me the conduit of your sweet desires.

Leave my back lightning scarred and bleeding.

Dig wicked trenches of warfare with your tongue.

Lay claim to my shuddering breath like a prospector hunting for gold,
It is all yours for the taking.

Streams

I will hold you in my memory,
like the mountains hold the scars of a glaciers path.

I could never fill the void you left with ice and snow.
So I'll open up the windows and let the sunshine melt away the cold.

These memories of your laughter, your smile, the softness in your voice when you said
'I love you.'
Will weigh me down no more.

I will build of them a sturdy ship.
One to carry me on the waves of sweet reminders to distant shores.
