Loves making things flow her way.

And if you hear my voice cracking,
Why’d you let the seams tear,

unremembered memories
unbidden guests
made themselves at home

...With eyes that listen when my ears cannot
I feel things others never get to feel,

With the things you wrote
Your words
Held me like a Siren’s song
And drew me into love
With you sight yet unseen
