daylight has come by soft sunlight

but it keeps me in the comfort of my bed where I usually long to be beside your loving frame

no jewels just in the simplest and softest of my garments

start overthinking what a life already lies behind me

would be enough for thirteen lifetimes

oh the world seems black and white again and grey blurring are the things I do

my kisses black like my veins' ink

but white my scars and evidence of ruin

and feeling that there are more like me

there have to be

for it is like checkered marble dusted with burnt love letters' ash

more letters than I ever wrote but it is of our shared healing

at last there is one hope I have

that we can all cry and laugh as one with no regrets

allowing our feelings
