I wake up bent like a willow
after having surrendered to you
thoughts that once I didn't have
grew into thoughts I pushed away
but later became thoughts I spoke to you
and you devoured them
We were tangled so tightly
I didn't know where I ended and you began.
I was the drop of rain running down your neck
across your shoulder and down your back
and your skin responded with a quiver.
And now,
no breath remains
my love stripped bare
and everything I am rests within your hands.
The sky opened last night and drenched us
with everything we knew lay behind the wall of fear.
We discovered that our souls were made for each other.
We forgot in those moments everything we were afraid of
and where pain used to be
now there are butterflies.
