Tonight feels like your breath on my skin
How your lips would form a smirk when
My goosebumps presented themselves
Your fingertips tracing my spine
Making their way down to my thighs
My body was your instrument
And you mastered it
Oh so well

To the person I used to be
It's been a whole decade
You hid your scars well darling
Dodging empty promises left and right
You learned to survive
You learned how to build your walls up
Brick by brick
Brick. By. *******. Brick.
How many wolves tried to blow it down?
Was your heart aching to be set free?
I know survival became easy
It became home
But now it's time to let it all go
To heal your inner child
Who desperately wants you to grow

You could write a book about us
How the sky cracked open and
Broke down once we kissed

Turned around and witnessed raindrops
Slapping the pavement
In honor of our pain

We fell apart like our souls were
Never in need
Like they never weeped
I didn't think we would bleed like this

But blood knows
Oh,
How blood knows

You asked me not to run
Instead I chose to slowly slip away
From the depths of the ocean
To where our love knows no gravity

We got swept up in the midst of our last dance
Struggling to plant our feet back on the ground
We spilled over each other trying to break free

I let go of everything I knew
And embraced uncertainty
I thought I was made for love

Can you hear that sound?
I’m ready to run

Your fingers caress my face
As I rest my cheek in your palm
I can feel the blood rushing back in
As if this was the signal to feel alive again

The beating of our hearts become louder
Until it drowns out everything around us
Is this what home feels like?

You grab my chin and tilt my head upwards
Until our eyes meet
Your eyes are low,
Your eyes are *****

You pull me in and kiss me deep
I wrap my arms around your neck
As my legs become weak
Is this what passion feels like?

Two bottles of wine in and           
Fear is completely out the window
As I allow my body to finally take over

To the man I love
who soothes me into pure bliss
Whose eyes are hidden jewels
painting waves of ecstasy
with each and every chocolate kiss
tracing spines and burying ourselves between thighs
with every explosion
hair pull
& pinch of sin
I climb the floors of your soul
to discover that, well,
I think we’ve met before
maybe in another time,
maybe in another place
but here we are with our hearts
beating at the same pace
discovering what lies beneath the skin
To the being I become one with
I will love you wholeheartedly
unconditionally
openly &
fearlessly
’til my heart is out of space
’til my last bake for goodness sake
To the heart I'll give my all to
stay vibrant
stay true
stay you
To the man I love
I will interlock my fingers with yours and
take you to the moon and back
just to show you the stars
and the world that is ours
