I want to grasp on to the beauty of your core
peel away the jagged layers
the ones that are frayed at the edges, burnt by the fire that shines so brightly inside all that cynical melancholy flowing through you like blood and oil
I want to fall deep into a vast, cavernous abyss – feel my body sway, as it soars hawk-like through the dark emptiness of the time and space continuum
my eyes closed as I fall, deeper and deeper into you, I fall
free-falling, free from the insecurity that follows becoming too familiar with the feel of ones newly formed imprints on memory and flesh
the touch, as it becomes chiseled in body and mind too quickly and then disappears too soon
I want to wrap myself in your sorrow - sew it into the patchwork of my own – name it and forever call it home
to live within its walls, dream-like and untouchable - as the days turn into nights and back again, in a trustworthy consistency which allows for us to sleep restless and wake with nothing lost
worry no more, these tears I've shed will no longer haunt me here
you've shown me the simplicity of the light, so I no longer fear the complexity of the dark
