and i am in love with you

it's funny how quickly you became the air i breathe, the world that surrounds me has become so much different

that the decaying leaves beneath the trees are only food for something living and the pain

that i feel is only going to last until i see you once more and with you as the tips of your fingers caress

the side of my face i will forget all the the things that have happened to me and only be with you

and i'm in love with you like the sun is with the moon and the i with the stars. for i orbit

you as if you are the center of my gravity and the shadows that fill this empty space is merely something that will be filled with light

once more. your voice is the only thing that cradles my rotting rib cage and soothes the band of horses inside my head.

so sing me a lullaby and hold me till i sleep for with you i am not nothing and you are the oxygen i need.
