Your lips are the only breath I know
Without them I am drowning.
Your eyes are the only light I know
Before them I stumbled in the darkness.
Your heart
Is my heart.

I grew old today.
In mind, out of body.
The shafts of light that we're once danced in
As gentle summer breezes
Kissed the cheeks of innocence
Have been replaced by the
Barren winter of an apathetic heart.
In the cold solace of my December
I will be reborn
Hard and unpenetrable .

In the night
as i frenzy for your mouth
on my mouth
and the darkness of our souls collide.
I am electrified into life
and grounded by your kiss.

She was not beautiful as the others were.
Her beauty was hidden in a place only a soul could feel.
It was hidden it the sunlight
As she slept in early morning with it lighting her hair ablaze.
In the way her lips curled into a smile as she drew him closer to her.
Her beauty was hidden
Deep in the glow of her cheeks as she laughed.
It could not be seen
But it was there as her mouth erased his pain.
She couldn't see how it felt
When she interlaced her hands with his.
Saving him.
Her beauty was hidden
Deep in the glow of her cheeks as she laughed.
In the darkness of her eyes and heart.
He had seen himself in her.

Drowning below the surface
You pull me in.
Saving me
in exchange for purity.

Drowning below the surface
You pull me in.
You see the imperfections left behind.
Wretched miscreation.

Drowning below the surface
You hold me down.
Trying to absolve me
Of what scares you.

Tiny hands never to be held.
Tiny feel never to run.
Tiny mouth never to laugh or sing.
Tiny heart that will never dream.
Never love and never break.
Tiny heart that will never beat.

I think I love her more than anything else you say.
I think about how you couldn't look at me.

I've been seeing her you say.
I’m glad didn't, my eyes would have deceived me.

I've held her and kissed her you tell me
as nonchalantly as a quiet pleasantry.

I think I love her more than anything else.

You went from her arms
to mine.

I held an infinite tenderness
that was shattered by your obliviousness.

I think I love her more than anything else.

The air escapes my lungs
as the room fills with darkness.
My darkness.

Did you hear me crack as I broke apart
in the stillness of a wasted evening.

Ten thousand unspoken words.
I didn't dare speak.

*I think I love her more than anything else.
