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
