Untitled Poem

This is where we are
When we are alone
When we are touching
After the storm comes rain
And we touch like this
Paved bodies
Dampened skin
Breathing with tethered hearts
Are we together or are we not?
We can be sealed
With stones, gems, and silver
Gold, metal, and crystal
Eternity; we can attempt to make
Goodbye and hello
It's all the same
This one craves comfort
This one loves pain
And we twist and turn
Beneath blankets with strangers
Even when we are alone
The silence is inside of us
We lay touching and asleep
What truly does this do?
Awake now, how do you feel?
Tell me the way you see me
And where your heart has been
You are healed in this moment
Suddenly, you are broken
Balance with whom?
When even you are a stranger
In your own darkness
Lets see you be bright
You know that feeling
When you shine by yourself
Love is shining in this way
Let's do it, my love
A simple gesture
A sweet smile
A heart with a lid
In a melting pot
I seek the shyness that is you
That is your love
That is so rare
Because soon you carry on
And lose sight of this
And when you leave me
It's gone.
