What if my words could be an echo into your abyss, a light in the tunnel?
What if I engraved you in the palm of my hands and cradled you for an eternity?
What if I could kiss away all the scars on your body?
What if I told you I would've given the sun, the earth, and all I had just so you could know what sacrifice meant?
What if staying meant waiting in the living room for you to come home every day?
What if I had too much love to give?
What if you threw it all away?

Air
Before I could release your air from my lungs
You suffocated me
And took my life support

True love
Taking
Tormenting
Terrifying
Touching
Trusting

True love is timeless
True love demands time
So take your time

Change the world
Then do it again
Smooth out the curves of the jagged river
Grow trees amongst barren land
Make mountains upon mountains
Then climb it all
And jump to the deepest depths of the ocean
To the very bottom of a lightless land
Then in a moment of hyper speed
Go straight to the sun
Say "Hi"
Then come back to Earth
Back to your bed
And back to your dreams
Wake up
Change the world

How quickly can someone become a stranger
To your safe harbor?

She gives him affection
In tiny jars
And her heart
In the smallest of fractions
Because if they only take the tiniest bit of you
It doesn't feel like your whole self is gone
When they walk out the door

There is an imaginary checklist
As she is evaluated
At Love's front door
Her leg is shaking
Because she fears
She might not meet the mark
