Mend

Let me face your fears,
Let me soak in your tears,
Let me stitch your open heart,
Let you live within me,
I will then show you what true happiness can be.

Chris

A broken heart for Christmas

●●●

A broken heart for Christmas
was waiting there for me
When I woke up this morning
underneath my Christmas tree

It's nothing that I wished for,
it wasn't on my list
That I sent off to Santa
but I ended up with this

I guess that I deserved it,
much naughtier than nice
And I am sure St. Nick has checked
his list much more than twice

A broken heart for Christmas
was all that I found here
That's why I'm thankful Christmas
only comes but once a year

●●●

Then I flipped it over
and I can not explain
The joy when I looked at the tag
and it was not my name

Santa made an error
I know this to be true
Because she wrote me yesterday
and told me "I love you"

Merry Christmas everyone!

Vacant (10W)

I find the moments you aren't here, the absolute worst.

Breathing You In

I'm getting lost within you.
Mind, body,
and soul.
I keep breathing you in
entirely whole.
Taking in every,
imperfection and flaw.
That makes you so perfect,
Opening the door.
To me only wanting
so much more.

Stitches

With that first
kiss
I vowed silently,
to give you many
more,
To stitch your
broken seams
to reveal the
the woman I obsessively
adore.

Landscape

This flat landscape,
          With a single flowing river
Met by your lips,
          Was forever changed.
Your touch evaporated the river
          and changed the landscape.
Though only for a moment,
          This flat landscape became a rolling hill.
