YOU
I kept the stubs from the movie of our first date,
And a vial of the sand we once walked on.
Snippets of words you've said to me
Commited to my memory.

I've seen so many face,
None of them feel like you,
None of them feel like your soul,
None of them feel like home.

I watch you
Day after day,
Standing in the doorway,
Waiting for you heart
With both feet at the entrance,
And my heart on my sleeve.

I remember what it feels like to hold you.
I could never forget that.
I could never forget you.

And in the doorway,
I realise,
That it was you,

Its always been,

YOU.
Blow to the gut,
Sought out and

DESTROYED.

Muscle Ache,
Tension,
Anger,
Insomnia,
Hunger.

Fool me twice,
Shame on me.

Acceptance,
Focus,
Perspective,
Progression,
Redirection,
Su­ccess.
I know the pain that you feel
You may not be able to overcome,

And;

Perhaps,
You can't mend those parts of yourself,

Perhaps,
They are meant to serve as a reminder,

But always know that
I will always be there,
To help you feel again,
To help you become vulnerable.

Even in the silence,
When there is so much to be said.
Denying what you truly feel,
Only makes those feelings stronger.

So will you deny yourself,
By keeping me at a distance?

Will you chose to forget,
The way I once made you feel?

OR

Will you take that chance,
To get everything you have ever wanted?

The fact of the matter is,
I wont wait for you,
Even when you jealousy shows.

Because I deserve more,
Than a maybe.
Their eyes finally swing
Toward each other,

And all the rules,
Terms and conditions,
Fade away,

In a moment of

Fleeting Permanence.
Close your eyes,

Listen closely,

To the humming

of my heart;

When you hold me
You bathe in my radiance,
With your eyes closed,
Taking what you need from me,
to strengthen your bones.

You stick around,
Just long enough,
But now its time for you
To wander off.

I expect that you will soon return
To use me again,
So I wait patiently,
Here on spectrum end.

When you return
You will regret not wandering sooner,
This time too much of me
Might just destroy you.

I am
