What Matters To You~para~

I could
Harness my heart to your will,
Caress your cheek with the tip of my pen,
And that would be enough for you

Wouldn’t it?

To just follow you with hands like the wind
Around your waist
Holding you
But not holding you back…
That would be enough for you.

I want that too but

My hands need touch
My lips need to know the breath that lingers
Just out of reach but close enough
To reclaim
My mind needs comfort
My heart needs acceptance
My soul needs rest
In knowing that it’s ok to be human
And dying
That it’s ok
To want you, to need you…

You offer my death daily
And I accept
In full agreement…
But you never feel the tears shed
For the loss of my needs
My desires.

When will I matter…
