There's something about
when I go to hold your cheek
and you lean into my hand

I feel the weight of your day
the burdens of your responsibilities
the trust you have in me
your exhaustion
your affection
your heat

Let me hold those for you
just for a little while

Last night his eyes asked me
How it feels in here, inside me
I bit my lip, how do I answer,
The same way he has asked?
Sending silent waves through
this darkness?

Light scares me away
So I rest in his custody all day
While his palms lightly cover
my eyes as he closes his
Maybe that is why
Even orange days seem like blue nights

And when the true night falls,
Even the early dusk is a cold black midnight.
I've never felt cold when he holds me.
His shoulder wet with my tears,
My heart painted with his warmth.

— The End —
