Much To Lose



Even though we found one another
There is some fear that remains
Making my way through the shadows
Discovering what was dwelling within
Due to abrupt exit and compassionate return
I submit to you honesty in brutal sense
I was broken beyond my time
Though you have mended the break
I am still weak
But I desire your strength
As you long to give
As I long to live
To share every breath with you
And only heaven knows
Why our breath is like blue-green clockwork
Written indefinitely in heaven's diary
What we know is ambiguous and surreal
Yet authentic and vulnerable
Created to be as such
With much imperfection
