My eyes are heavy
They wallow with the crust
That keeps cheeks dry
From past reluctant tears
Thoughts, worries
Responsibilities
Trample, stampede
Hemorrhage my brain
And turning to you
Lessens none
Nay, your love
Endless love
Warms me
When we laugh
When we talk
For talk’s sake
When we cuddle
In affection
When we kiss
In passion
Burns me
When comforting
In its severity
Is giddy and
Joking
When intimacy
Always finds you
Submissive
But the wind
Sweeps away the ashes
And you complete me
