Love's Last Litany

I have never known alone as when I lie next to you. I have never felt orphaned, unknown, alien, as when cramped within our zoo. I have only become this dark when missing not missing you. I am breathing in hoping to exhale, all through. I don't want to want to hear you when I look past your sad dark eyes. I can't bear to sing this song slow dancing echoed sighs. I don't want to be this anymore becoming drawn to close my door. If you can love me as I am please help me find breath's floor. I don't want to play house anymore, my soul wilts in air this poor. I don't want to want to breathe us anymore. I can't want to breathe this evermore.
