My Why

I breathe you in I taste your skin I’m starved for you My sweet sin Your fingers comb Behind my ears When we’re alone You calm my fears You place your hands Across the line Our spirits dance We intertwine The moon and stars See it all A love like ours Is doomed to crawl Beneath the bars Of what’s accepted Less than par Left rejected But when I see Your underneath It occurs to me Why I breathe Why I’m here Why I live Why feel fear Why forgive At the close Of every day I’m glad to know Why to pray
