you are my sun.
i flicker when your light shines upon me.
somehow, in the same way, you are my dusk.
you are the chains that leave me tethered.
you are the voice in my head on repeat,
“never leave me”
       “don’t you see me?”
              “why don’t you need me?”
you hold my love
                     my time
                         my worry
can’t you see?
you are and will forever hold
                                                    my heart.
