August.

by alyssa-starnes

I am in heart with you. Shush, baby, shush. Don't say it too quick, fall down too quick. Days are all days and space is all space. Take me, away, you and I, from here. I am in small, p i e c e s. I'll leave them about. In a trail, lead me to your heart. You are soft and kind and make me beautifully uncomfortable with your honesty. I wanna sleep in your eyes, and stare into your arms. You xim me up, you turn me around. You make me right side up. I live in the darkness and you make it safe. Another year, and you are still here. You are not over, and we are not over, and we are just now begining, with no need for an end. You are an August baby, and I love babies, and you are mine, baby, mine. I know you too well, and it never feels like enough. Hours will be spent. Joyously listening to the workings and twearkings, the (insides) of you. I enjoy your organs. And hair, and teeth, and lips, and that special piece inside you that fits you right into me. Mashup. Two people, one person. Two hearts, and they're workin'. I will never be done with you.
