Between Us

My hands have been bound to my chest
Where they rest upon my breast
Between us, there is no air
There is only a flare
You have now become my life vest

I feel like I am falling
But for you, I am only crawling
I will beg on my knees for you
I will do anything that you want me to
Your name is all that I am calling 

Skin to skin
I hold my breath to your chin
Heart to heart
We are never to part
The space between our face so paper thin

I look into your eyes
I can tell that I am your prize
I want to lie with you forever
This way everything will get better
And hopefully, nothing else dies

It seems that love is the force behind your poetry and you write it so well. To find that one who makes it all beautiful, there is nothing better. Wonderfully written.
