Anxiously
My chest tightens,
Heart races.
The ability to breath
Escapes me
Im grasping at straws
To regain some
Self control.
Im loosing myself
In dread,
Things are at a
Fever pitch,
Climbing to the ******
Of self doubt.
Can I do this?

Light hearts and lace
Cast uneasy shadows
on things; all too
often left unspoken
We dance betwixt
moonlight and an ever
ignored reality.
Sneaking around lies of
Omission
and buried hatchets.
Oh what wicked webs
we weave.

Paper and ink broken down into
sentiment and heartstrings
I've missed you.
You remained just as
I left you.
Eager for my touch.
Waiting to have my love
spilled across you.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

You are my muse.
The physical manifestation
Of words unwritten.
You are the song,
The tune that has yet
to leave my lips.
You are every shred
Of art in my body.

This middle ground
is an uncomfortable hell.
You hold my heart
in your hands.
Squeeze it hard enough to
end me.
Or often enough to
keep it beating.

I'll trace a map
to my heart
with the freckles on your
shoulders.
The weight they
Carry is great,
Even Atlas would
have trembled.

I'll draw a map
to my heart
with the freckles on your
face.
Your smile;
Cupids bow.
Those unintentional arrows
Ensnare me.

I'll trace a map
to my heart
with the freckles on your
chest.
A constellation.
Those stars sparkle
In my eyes.

Run away with me
Run as far and fast
as feet and fate
Can take us.
To where they won’t
Know our faces.
Where they won’t know you
Said you hate me
And I called you
Your fathers name.
To where life and love
Can live together
Like i always said we
Should.
