do this

26 2 2
                                    

make your voice
weigh a thousand pounds
wrap your sentences
around my neck
and hang me from your lips
give me syllables
to replace the beating
of my heart
and the rhythm
of my pulse
i want your breath
to stain my skin
so I'll never forget
the things you've said
tell me words
that shatter the sky
so it rains shards
of fractured stars
speak
and bring light
to the deepest depths
of my soul

do this
or don't speak at all
