Month: April 2017

these things are yours

there is a passion
within me
that few will ever see
a fire in my eyes
that you could drown in
if you know just where to look
and there is a way
that my lips
can curl into a smile
in the middle of the kiss
and a way that my body
will melt into an embrace
and somehow
there is a way
that you have brought
all of these things
out
in me

when i say i miss you

when i say
    i miss you
it is not a coy goodbye
like a heart shaped period
at the end of my sentence
it is not something
i whisper out of habit
before hanging up the phone

when i say
    i miss you
i mean that
your absence is palpable
and painful
i mean that
when you’re not
within arms reach
i can think of nothing else
but your touch

when i say
    i miss you
i mean that
without you
my lungs find it hard to breathe
and my heart can’t keep a steady beat

when i say
     i miss you
i also mean that
     i want you
     i need you
     and
     i love you
