texture
You’re deeply textured
And I wish to know
Every crevice that you carved
In stone
Every ray of light you hold
Every time you felt alone
Every break of song and
Sound
Every time you hit the ground
I want to feel your every beat
Drumming on my heart
Every word you ever breathe
Whispering in my mind
I can’t untangle
My desire for the life
I wish to build with you
Is so intricately woven
Into deep space
That I think you feel
When I pull a thread
I fear it cuts you
As it slices through me
With jagged teeth
Wrapped 'round my heart
Like a vice preventing
My breathing
And I hold that breath
Till it poisons me
For I can’t stand
Your pain
I pay
