I am the crinkled corner of your lips when you smirk
The freckles on your nose blessed by the Earth
I am the glowing glint in your green eyes
Lighting up my bedroom by no surprise
I am the shiver running through your nervous bones
The raindrops on your windowsill when you’re all alone
I am the warmth in the summer breeze
Twisting through your knotted blonde locks with ease
I am the soft hand tickling your rosy cheeks
The angelic whisper singing you to sleep
I am breakfast for dinner after an endless work day
The warmth of your sheets begging you to stay
I am the lost melody to your old, favorite song
You listen to in your car with the windows rolled down
I am the sweet honeydew sprinkled on maple leaves
A springtime pleasure patched at the sewn seams
I am the peace you search for within
But for peace to initiate you need faith to begin.

Anxious feelings
Frighten your soul
A hand in search
Of something to hold
Fingers tangle
And melt in my palm
Our hearts beat
To the same lonely song

Yet another endless night
Midnight or so
I lay in my old twin-sized bed
Wondering about you.

Your blonde hair shines in the sunlight
Green eyes glint in the moonlight
Have you ever been so nervous
That you can feel it all over?

Every moment you smile
Is another worth living
Every laugh released from your lips
Is another reason for my heart to beat

I only hope you are thinking of me.

You have a fragile smile
And a delicate soul
This is a secret
You’ve left untold
I promise
I won’t break you,
Burn,
Mold,
Or deface you.
I’ll place you over the fireplace
Like dainty teacups of China
A glimmering, pale frailty
Emotionally and mentally the finest.
Like a flame in the wind
I’ll cover you up
Hold you close
And care for every piece.

You deserve the most.

Emerald eyes, auburn hair
Whistling under a tree
Porcelain skin, ruby lips
Sipping on her tea
Petite waist, sweet smile
Dancing around the pier
Stitched wounds, hollow heart
Sinking in a sea of fear

Tattered and torn
A curtain sways in the morning breeze
You are no longer here
A ghost brushes against my cool cheeks
Roses surround a revelation
Nothing more than another obstacle,

Even the brightest chandelier dims to a dark room.

If I stood outside your home
In the pouring rain
Mixed in with treacherous tears
Rolling down my cheerless cheeks
Would you let me in
And warm me by your sweet embrace?

Nuzzled in front of a fireplace
With an afghan smothering our bodies
And hot tea in our mugs
Would you let me spend the evening
With you instead of my thoughts?

I could listen to your shaking voice for hours
Even when I’m not so sure of what to say
However you often must say goodbye
You head to your home
I walk alone to mine
Each step I take into the indefinite unknown
I really hope sometime
You’ll ask me to
Stay.
