Description

I want my arm around you

Your head on my chest

I want to feel your breathing

Your hair in my face

As you're tangled up in me

But none of that exists

Right now

I want to feel the heat again

You nuzzled into me

Our hands intertwined

Your heart - beat for steady beat

Against my own

But none of this can be

Right now

Your eyes as they stare

Like the moon in the sky

Bore a hole to my inner demons

Wrestling the fight from them

To put at ease a troubled mind

Yet, none of this is happening

Right now

Your touch - a spark to set aflame

From root to withered branch

A smile's all that 'scapes the burning

For immolation never felt

Or tasted quite this sweet

But I feel none of this

Right now

~

Alone, I think of you

The particles

That build me up

Torn down to spread the misery

Bit by fussing bit

Each part breaks down

In quiet memory

Buried in the sand

My treasure lies beyond

The sea from me

But there you wait

And I am trudging

'cross the ocean floor for thee

~

Right now I see you

In my dreams

But long to wake

And hear you breathe

The fires

In my chest right now

Burn cold til

You return to me

And when I'm woken

By the sound

Your voice right now

Calling to free

I'll make it to the shoreline

Somehow

Anchor in

And hold you tight now

~

Above all wealth

I treasure thee
