I Want You

I want all of you.

I want your eyes

and the memories

that hold their hand,

and shushes it so that,

though it's presence is

known and acknowledged,

it is silenced and calm.

I want your smile

that shines the walkway

down your throat,

past your lungs,

and straight to your core.

I want your skin

and the paintings on them,

paintings of days with no sunlight

and straight lines of red.

I want your love.

Every moment of joy and pain

and sorrow and guilt, I want.

I want every goodmorning,

after a night's worth of goodnight.

I want the fear of saying goodbye to you;

knowing that at any moment,

the pit would find it's way back

home in my stomach,

as you're gasping for your last taste

of sweet, sweet air.

I want your love.
