*my hands and heart are calloused
from writing out our story
from living out our story
god knows
i breathe so much love for you
and it lives within me
and right now it's messier
than before*
*it's angry
it's painful
it's jaggedly soft and a whispered
prayer
are you there?
my love, are you there?*
*you may give up on me
but my knees are scuffed
because i've been praying
on concrete.
that never used to happen before*
*i've this carpet burn
from sleeping on the floor,
because the bed
is a mocking reminder
of the softness of your skin
of you love
of you*
*i'm a sinner, and you know it
but i felt so holy
when your lips touched mine
the way they did*
*i miss you
like an ocean misses the shore
i will always be trying
to reach you*
*my heart's still in your hands
it's in your hands
i always melted in your hands...*
