My Heart

You’re like a ray of sunshine
burning through the clouds above,
brightening the dark haven
I’ve secluded myself in.

You asked me to reach up 
and I grasped
your eloquent hand firmly
    as you brought me to your level.

I showed you 
   the darkness
that flows from my fingertips
and you found it beautiful.

I was enraged,
    nearly foaming at the mouth
and you took your creativeness,
   splashed it with emotion,
to totally erase
    the rabidness
that had my teeth gnashing.

Souls like yours,
    I thought to be only in fairytales
but there you are
   laying on my shoulder,
      left hand on my chest
near my heart,
as I feel yours beat
against the side of my ribs.
