Bold
Years ago,
I had three words for that night
Or was it six?
They'll come back
I'm sure
Rather, I'll find them
Unsure during the search
Years ago,
I see warmth
My throat goes numb
I open a red door
Face flushed
Structural purity
Fusing cells with mine
Discomfort
Something quiet
From the end

Worship the words I don't say
Until light
That which is contained
And not squandered
And that which is
Leave behind
Tonight we drink deep
Colorado weather
Texas treasure
Keep up now
Daring monolith
Rise up
Transform
With me
Tonight

Can it be just you and I tonight?

At night
With clasped hands
Near the ocean
Trembling
The wind on our backs
Melted smile
One memory made
One cancer cured
Two notes burned
And six letters kept
Hazel eyes
Be mine tonight

To stare into darkness
Makes you understand
That sleeping is an escape

Be aware
No man has let their story
Become this real

And did you know?
Your mother was deathly sick
Yes, right till the end
Her whimpering your name
Her son has left far away
Your family and their questions
How I lied and said you were working
So long I convinced them of your piety
And so long I hated you
Not for your decision
But that you had a choice
I never did
