I want to unfurl from your side like a tree in the crag of a mountain

I want you to love me the way the sky loves the earth

My body is a runway
for you to take off
My feet are stepping stones
for you to get to where you need to be
My hands hold
a light in the darkness for you
Your dreams are a key
to unlock your fears
My heart, a doorway
for you come back in to yourself

Non-existent, Silence

I want to spill from this wound under my rib
secrets and songs of the every day

Taste

Fancy words of love
 won't get us very far, though
I can't resist one or two

Heroes need not apply

The heart is not a wound I am looking to heal
The doors of heaven are tearing open, using our souls as gateways

If ever I was broken
I've forgotten now
Seems as if I always was
This way

If ever I am torn,
As I am so often,
I will stitch myself back together
With an inconsistent understanding
Of how life works

Without, Within

No trace of your touch remains on my skin
Nowhere left in my hair that you hands have lingered
All of you is removed from me


All that's left now is this lightness of breath
An odd determination to live with my heart split open
A voice (of you) that urges me on, go on, don't stop, don't look back
