My yearning for you runs deep and strong
Boiling water rushing through my veins when you speak
An old oak tree that’s seen it all
Her long, jagged wrinkles,
Nests where her secrets lay at rest
At best
My stomach can flip when you flash me a smile
And for a moment
All my pain
All my hunger
Seems worth while
But dearest,
How I ache for your hand to rest in mine
Lovely,
I’ll grow old and crooked for your sake
Dear Heart,
Lay your head at rest in my hollowed out bones
Pet,
Let me hide you from the world,
Trade its ugliness for mine
You can be my secret
You can be my flaw
You can be my love
You can be my all
