That which is safe
Stay with me
I am sorry,
For this heartbreak that I have caused to you
And for leaving all of this behind
And I will never be able to wash this guilt from myself
I am weak (bereft of fulfillment)
Hurt goes on (this language of wrongdoing)
Speak softly (and be gentle)
I love you (I'm sorry)
You are a gift that has blessed me
With finer things
And I'm the one who threw it all away
I welcomed dread into your place
And it was worse than when I was starving to death
Cold and emaciated,
Starving to death
And I would rather starve for eternity than see
Your universe close it's eyes to our joys together,
You and I

Tender Green

My love is the bed of grass that rests beneath our soles
My love is the painted wings of a monarch gleaming in the dust
In between, we vapors shall teem, between the words that my love shall bring:
Without you, I am nothing
I'm here to help you get by on your own
You remind me to be present
My tender green, in the deep, hallowed in every respect
My tender green so far away, all I need is you
When you are gone, you are close in thought
When you are near, I am always better
Without you, I am nothing
Let us go then, you and I,
I am no longer afraid when I'm with you
Please don't take this away from me
You are my everything
