Tell Me How You Want It
(Series: Silhouettes)
My eyes weep in their blackness,
& the cores of my heart complain between my ribs
For the affliction of you not loving me, stings.
“Tell me how you want it”
In the midst of misery & despair,
With tears I will scribe from my heart - fill the ocean with lines describing thy beauty
If that is not enough,
“Tell me how you want it”
I will let the moon shine it light on your face,
Steal brightness after the sun,
Slaughter darkness after the night,
I wish you could understand the feelings
If that’s still not enough,
“Tell me how you want it”
I will let you live in the midst of my breath,
I will be your heart,
You will be my soul,
& be my breath
If that’s not enough,
“Tell me how you want it.”
