I think of the air I breathe,

Of the fragmented heart

Holding you in with me.

A prison of memories where

Tenderness brings out stabbing tears.

Twice you said you had to

Leave, as if the heart would

Forget and bloom again

Without the same longing

To be found, a lost child.

Tell me to bleed out a

Story of all I ever

Felt and saw in the

Fabrics holding my dreams to

Some reality.

All around me I search

Always for you burning part of

My external being, our secret places.

I’ll seek for in other realms

Where again we can hold hands.
