dont go
this is what i want to lift your chin and brush the tears from your eyes that you might see through again to the world without feeling like you have drowned this is what i want to frame your face with my hands and speak honest words past your cheeks red with worry and kneed your violet mouth back to life this is what i want to pull you full within me as lover, my lover, you and make your chin lift again this is what i want to just be happy because of you and i please let me rouse the i in you and let us be please i am yours as you say like mirrors we recite love please there are no futures, dont be afraid there are no endings, dont feel helpless there is only movement now, no certain path yet our feet pad in rhythms together please, dance with me this life? to rhythms set by your hand in mine your teeth at my ear your breath beating like a delicate heart please is all i can utter i am reduced to this soft word an exhale reaching like a kitten's tongue but what i mean is always love, what i am forever reduced to this sweet inhale of sound reaching inside to places only you and i know |
