lay beside me
breath into my hair
let your thoughts wonder
                    smell my heart
                    touch my love
                      hear my pain
and accept all of me
for better, for
worse
                 love me

ragged breaths and torn skin
     healing cuts and slow movements
sheets crumple as you toss and turn
lost within thoughts and broken memories
         emerald leaves and sapphire skies
tumbling to a lowly height
losing a love to death
losing a life to love
missing a heart
while holding one
