How I wish I were your pillow.
To capture all your careless whispers,
every breath, every sound.
To catch a glimpse of every dream,
every fantasy.

To let your head gently rest upon me,
letting go of every worry.
To soothe you back to sleep
when you rise during the night.
To erase all those terrible thoughts which keep you restless,
make you weep.

To absorb every tear. To feel your warmth.
For you to hug and squeeze, holding close to you.

To be the one you wake up to and the one you come home to at night,
Never letting go.

Happy but lonely;
This feeling comes and goes like waves hitting the shore,
Retreating back to sea
Come and go; Back and Forth

It’s those thoughts that linger too long
And over stay their welcome
If only I could shake the nagging feelings
Out of my head and make it disappear

Content but yearning*;
No room for complaints
But maybe I’m longing for the
Excitement of tomorrow
or maybe I’m just letting a thought
Hang around like clouds on a sunny day

Grab a hold of me.
Grab me.
Toss me.
Take me.

Don't kiss me,
Consume me.

The last drop,
Sweetest taste.
Yours to savor.
Devour.

Don't speak to me,
Read me.

The arch of my back,
Every curve,
Each gasp which escapes
These lips of mine.

Don't heal me,
Destroy me.

Claw through every flaw,
Healed scar.
Dig right into my flesh,
Seek the core.

Don't look at me.
Burn through me.

Explore through every crevice,
Run your fingers,
Scratch the surface,
Careful.

What lies beneath
Isn't always beauty.

I did not forget you
I didn't not leave you
I did not abandon you
I did not tease you

It your memory that has faded
It's you that walked away
You were the one to leave
And hold your love up in the air

You made me reach for it
You made me stretch
And no matter how hard I tried
I couldn't grasp it

So don't point your finger
At me anymore
I'm finally putting myself first
And I'm walking out our door
