I want to cradle your soul
in my humble hands
and feel the weight of your heart
crushing mine
I want all you can give
and I will not settle for less

I changed my mind
I can love you
and I want to

A seedless fruit
Serves no greater purpose
But to serve itself
And yet, it itself does not exist
For what is a fruit
without its seed
and what is a fruit
without its tree
Existing simply to die
a fruitless death

I like when your eyes gaze into mine
And I watch you deconstruct my soul
To be pieced together in your mind

I like looking at your hands as they fidget
And imagine what they'd look like
Taking me apart, piece by piece

I like hearing you say my name
My being is given meaning
When it's conjured from your lips

For once in my life I feel at home
When I begin to write
Even if for only a moment,
I can finally see me so clearly
Perhaps my issue is letting go
Of all the trivial doubts and regrets
But when I begin to write
I see my true feelings appear
Instead of worrying about the silly things
I will soon forget

Nothing ever lasts
Thoughts are destined to be lost eventually
But these words from my soul get to stick around
for eternity

As I gaze up at the moon
all I can think about
is you

I will never understand
who or what I am
but when you're next to me
I gain some sense of
familiarity
I see your face in the moon
staring back
blankly

there is no reason
to be so afraid
hold my hand
and we'll be ok

I am just as scared
as you are.
