The feeling
When you notice that I notice
The way you take
Everything I have –
And everything I am –
Heart soul and mind
And eyes and air
Out of my lung like a light
Flickering and failing
Clinging to life of once was –
And still is –
To memories and hope
Lessening loss
Lingers in my spine
Like spiders
Greedily strung in the web
That is your love and my need
To feed your bleeding heart –
And mine –
Hold me, adore me, see me
All I ask is for everything
You are
And I will forever give
This crumbling shell to you.
