I will carve out a cave and leave them there,
Only with you, will I share.

What pieces I have left of my heart, you bear.
Do what you will, take care.

can I be your morning coffee
right when you wake up

and your warm cup of tea
before you go to sleep

wishing I was the cup against your lips
held right below my hips

can I be the tears running down your cheeks
and the shadow right under your nose

can I be the music you listen to on a rainy day
and the dimple right below your eyes

can I be your breath after walking up the stairs
and your late nights completely unaware
of all the things I want to be to you

can I be yours?

Cut me open;
To learn my fears.
Gouge my eyes,
To hold the truth.
Slit my throat;
To witness the pain.
Kiss me;
To taste the words I cannot say.
Suffocate me,
With your healing embrace.
Open my heart;
To feel the love I have inside.
