Tell Me
How should I describe this empty?
So that you may wake from this slumber
With my words,
As some magic kiss.
It is far more deep, and tender
then any other wound.
You
Who had stretched tenderness,
The ability to believe,
Over my once
Inoperable fear
Of forever.
You
Covered me
In a definitive reply to a puzzle
That had never seemed to make sense.
And you
Borrowed from my well of dreams,
In hopes to fill our bellies
With waters less dark
And wanting.
So tell me before you go,
One last time before you go
How should I fill this empty?
This lack of me now,
This lack of
You?
