You are love

You are love

Sickness

Whispering words

No one can hear

Intimacies

No one can see

Taking me by surprise

The breath of my body

Released in deflation

Winded, I fall

For you

Over and over again

Reaching out

In anticipation

Arms closing

In emptiness

Finding you gone

Is never easy

The first time

Is always a moment away

The power to move

Is often a skill

Too easily lost

Frozen in mind

As well as body

Caught between fear

And a belief

That you will

Still

Be lying there

By my side

When I wake.
