eyes closed, i'm awake

t h r e e - the one-eyed prince

We stay together, close

Your arm is around my shoulders,

your lips inches from my ear,

whispering sweet things

Do you mean it?

You make me fear irrational things,

you make me wonder how long

it's gonna take for you to leave again

How many days will it take until

you return as yourself?

You told me you are not whole, that you are missing limbs

and that you go and search for them when you leave

and then when you come back you are complete:

you are you again

But my love, how is is that you don't see what I see

when I look at you?

Can't you see the beauty you possess?

What you mean to me, even if in just the simplest terms?

You may be rough, you may be

scarred and you may swear,

but those things make you who you are

and I wouldn't change any of that 

Not for anything in the world

You grab me by the waist, and I lean in for a kiss

Why would I change what we have?

We are broken, we are not ready to pick up our pieces 

but we have each other

We connect even if we are disconnected

and you will always be my holy sinner, my lonely sailor humming about the ocean's mercilessness and the unwelcoming beast in the dark

You are the one-eyed prince, and I am your kingdom
