I found the beauty
in your eyes immediately,
but the real blessing
is how it never left.

I thought I knew pain,
I thought knew heartbreak just the same.
Until I saw the knees of a mother buckle at her child's funeral.
             She couldn't speak.
             She couldn't even scream.

You should have left my lips alone,
I should have left my heart at home.
You should have known better.
            I never wanted to fall for you.
            I only wanted to walk with you.

                       - e. m i s h e l e

I don’t speak french but I’d do it for you,
On your skin, tongue and lips
If you wanted me to.
