How is it that a mind is racing as much as it is calm,
with tidal wave veins and electric pulses keeping me awake as my head sits on your shoulder
How is it that
your voice sinks into my skin like caramel
running through my hands like sand when it’s just a sound in the air
a vibration through my spine?
And how is it that my bones know where to move and to bend
exactly where they fit with yours,
that the puzzle pieces that we are fit together better than anywhere different.
How?
Because with love comes pain and with pain comes change,
shifts in the tides that make up our minds
abbreviations of what was one and I love you, a tear on a cheek and a cry for help that just can’t be heard by the one it needs to reach.
Because when a bone breaks, it heals differently, and
and we learn not to do what broke it in the first place!
How is it that we have magnetic fields in our blood,
they were placed as opposites just to bring us back together again?
I’d really love to know.
