Through shadows
I perceive love
beacons of warmth
in iridescent fog
if only I could open
my eyes I might find you
for you see me

like no other,

you see ME

how I wish I could
return love without
uncertainty
know the confidence
draping your hands

I cry inside for you
loving me can be so painful
sometimes creeping things
and the dead things over
power you

and together,
with all our might
we cannot close my tomb
so I lie exposed through
the night
your arms holding
tight decay

nestled in your comfort
I pretend I am whole
just for the moment

wee hours may find
my eyes fixed upon
your face as you sleep
my tomb forgotten
in your exhaustion
and I marvel
nobody loves me like you
not even she who sighs

minutes away from sunrise
I pray tomorrow beside you
my lighthouse of love
though understanding may
be limited

we go

steady

Have read this deeply captivating write before going to bed last night and read it again now. You write beautifully.

You ARE whole, independently of another in your life. That's what we should never forget ...

I enjoyed the great imagery used.

Love,
Margherita
