Your words slip through me
Through a dream weaved from Indian minds
The riddle of tongue you speak
Below my feet, they burn
I cry undeservingly at your lips
Demanding certainty of this path
The path overgrown with roots
I've rooted myself in these lies
Lies created by an unloving mind
Can it be you?
I seek for the answers to these riddles you speak.
Grasping at an understanding that you may be there
I cannot let go of these burns
Burns that rest below my feet
From this concrete that you’ve poured.
But I must discover
A way to comprehend the meaning of these words
You speak
Apologetic verbs and misrouted whines
I cry undeservingly at your lips
Our wrists touch as we reach to an empty sky
To understand why
Why can’t I let go of these burns
These burns below my feet
I cry undeservingly at your lips
Our chest intertwines, into one
As a grace of beauty becomes this certainty
A beginning to an understanding of why
I cry undeservingly at your lips.

I especially love your very first line.
