such a heavy love
at times, i choke
on the shape of
forgetting you

such cracks feral tides
praise the loved hides

i am loving you
in this moment
in this moment
i am allowing myself to
be wholly consumed

your blonde hair captivates this willing mind
and i sink further than expected
in this investment
of my heart

i was your ageless phrase
an exhausting prelude to things you need to say
but i won't
devoured i am
devoured you were
scrimmage love

you pressed your body against me
for a time
and i undeniably became yours

you shattered your mind loving me
it was hard to reach
and still, i was undeniably yours

the efforts we make to stay in love
it will **** us, it will keep us warm
it will end what we knew we were
it will create what it was

loving you is muscle memory
and i want your muscle on me
i want your mouth in between
crossing our teeth
and you won't need to apologize for your future shortcomings
because i already know

your body, a chapel
your right arm my religion
i hesitate to call you my love yet i always feel it

i'm used to obsession but this is different
i worship every detail of your blonde skin and manic indecision

the pale gesture i make to speak to you
is small and adolescent
you must feel this as you hardly return

i am wearing the ropes thin
hoping to endure what i can
until i give in
and finally forget about
what it was that i even
was hoping for

the pulse of your unknown leaves me wanting more
in every song, i sing of letting go
in every note, i sing of you as home

I see you
and I want to see you

the timing is endless
