I want
to possess you
utterly, because all
I am is yours, and all I have
is for you.
I'm so lost in you
that my only chance
to find myself is when
you give you back to me;
though I am not owed you,
so,
it's kind of a risk.
It's not virtuous, smart,
or deliberate
to have thrown myself so,
into all of this
- into your heart. It is rather
the lack of all those things. It was stupid
and dumb,
but I've come
to trust myself
when I want to give all,
from the very start, or
at critical points
along the way. It brings
a sense of well-being,
that comes
when you trust someone,
enough to say
- anything
they could hold you to.
But if anyone ever
could break me of it,
it's you.
I know it's you.
Through no fault of your own,
and through all of those usually mine,
we'll find
if a lesson is due in time. And this time,
if it's due,
in honor of you,
I may not refuse to learn. Those dice
are thrown. That one crack die
And then when I do,
what if
every piece of my self
that I've lost, came back to me?
To burn.
I can not lie.
There would be such a bonfire effigy,
as all of the world
could come out to see,
and warm its hands, in turn.
And I hope
you'd be standing somewhere in line
to warm your hands,
while I shine. Since you know,
I would. By then,
you'll have well
and truly earned
whatever I'll have had to find,
and both of us
will take it for a sign.
And then you'll be mine.
Until then, let's yearn.
