Let us...

I had given up on my heart,

And yet, your touch, your kiss...

They have rekindled a fire

I had thought long dead.

***

When you move inside me

Your eyes are the sky,

And your hands soothe my pains,

And your lips help me find who I am.

And as I lay against you

In the echoes of our cries,

I write unsaid prayers

on the blank screens of my mind.

***

Let him hold my hand in his

For as long as he dares;

Let him build new dreams with me,

For all I want is to dream along;

Let me remember forever:

Your eyes in mine,

My hand in yours,

Our lips pressed together.

Help me live again

It had been long

since I last

felt so strongly

about anything

Love - Hate - Fear - Hope

Now all of it

is overwhelming,

overpowering,

and my heart feels

like a wet, squishy sponge.

And yet I want

more of the chill,

and the heat,

and the high,

and the burn.

Take me,

squeeze me,

soothe me,

and help me live again...
