nothing but you

i want to be in that fog, that haze, that cloud that transcends time and place,

that place i go to when i feel the touch of your fingers in my hair, softly dancing across my face

that plane of nowhere that i rise up to or maybe sink down in when your lips are on mine, your mouth devouring me

and it is you and me and nothing else when your touch i feel, your scent i breathe in, the sound of your breathing, the taste of your lips on mine, your eyes locked with mine

that place you take me time after time where my mind is void of thought, vacant of worry and i can only feel and respond to your body, your rhythm, your touch.

i want to be there now, wrapped up in that darkness, that warmth, that peace; wrapped up in you and your mouth and kiss and fingers and gaze.

i want to be in that place where i float along with you, next to you, under you, on top of you, tangled up in you, where i see and feel and hear nothing but you.

if i could

if i could take your heart, hold it in my hand and take away the hurt, i would.
i want to take your tears, make them my own, feel that pain that i have made yours.
you stand tall today, smile and walk on.
but i have seen that little boy broken inside you, if i could put him back together, there's no doubt i would.
we are ripped apart by circumstance, needs unmet, words that struggle to be said, communication dead, the relationship vacant.
if i could lay my head on your chest, make sense of this, i would.
you, i have loved, hated, hurt, angered. you, who brought me so much joy, now so much frustration i am drowning it in.
if i could give my heart back to you, if i could stand the hurt again, i would, but i can't.
