This girl goes to sleep with the weight of the world on her shoulder,
she wakes up to it feeling like a boulder.
Her lips touching his everyday,
now a distant memory only in the way.
It seems missing him is not enough,
for the seas of love become very rough.
She loves him more than he will ever know,
she loves him more than she will ever show.
Loving someone this much is scary,
for true love is what you feel when you marry.
She lies awake, taken aback,
Lord, I hope he loves me back.

I crave
            simplicity.

kiss my spine
so intimate
your flaming breath
seeps through me
as if the years have made me porous

trace the silhouette
of my calloused fingers
and linger
on the ridges of my wrist
you shiver
I resist
the temptation of escape

rest your head against my own
so heavy with memories
the sinking weight
of stories never told

I taste your breath
I taste your empathy
I taste the words
you never said

I must be quite frank,
that when I see your face,
I am filled with delight,
and literally melt inside.

You're beautiful blue eyes,
make me tingle inside,
from my head to my toes,
and even in my nose.

And when I hold you in my arms,
with your body close to mine,
I wonder in my mind,
why are you with me?

How did pure perfection,
end up in my arms?
And how did someone as stunning as you,
end up with me, a loser?

Truth be told,
you are gorgeous,
you are brilliant,
you are perfect.

Everything about you,
from your hands to your feet,
to your cute voice,
which I find so sweet.

Everything about you,
I find to be amazing,
or perfect in some way,
I promise, it's true.

So take this to heart,
when I tell you,
I truly love you,
and that is the truth.
