Healing you

For years

I've wanted a way

Just to be yours

Even for a day

Imagine the flutter

In my heart

When out of nowhere

We are inches apart

Your laughter

Fills my every sense

Tingling chills

Across me it sends

The way you hold

My hand so dear

My heart, my love

You hold so near

The world spins

Around you and me

When you speak so soft

Just for me

We walk across

Lanes of love

Only you can I feel

Just you, my love

Your hands wound

Around my waist

I hold your arms

With no haste

You hold me close

We stare at the stars

At this moment

Nothing compares

Your fingers run

Through my hair

I close my eyes;

Take a breath of air

Your warmth seeps

Into my form

But when I reach out

You're just a song

Of broken whispers

And loneliness you hid

On your lips and fingers

When I reach out

I find the carved

Lines across your body

So cruel, hate-starved

It's not okay

Though you say it is

I see you now

So baby, please

You can change

I know you can

If you feel

Any less than

Your beautiful self

Just think of me

What we are

What we can be

Take my strength

Take my soul

Take my love

And mend yours

Maybe before

You were alone

But now you have

Me to hold

Vote if you enjoyed! xx
