My body is curled, skin to skin, next to you.
Pure comfort and pleasure in your arms.
We speak in whispers through the dark.
I trace lazy circles across your chest.
Attempting to imprint you on my fingertips.
If I close my eyes I'm afraid the magic will end.
Keep me up with stories of where you've been.
Places you can only say in hushed whispers.
Then I feel you pull me closer to you.
Kiss me so softly on the top of my head.
Your fingers brush the hair from my cheek.
And I realize, I've drifted off to dreams.
Your voice my ever pleasant lullaby.
I know in the morning you'll be gone.
But, for tonight, I'm safely wrapped up in you.

Two wine glasses sit upon a table.
But only one shows evidence of use.
How lonely it must be,
When a bottle of wine meant for two,
Stands empty,
Because of one.

Walk beside me and hold my hand.
Listen to the woes of my day.
Let the words flow from my lips.
This is how I release my pain.
I don't intend to hang onto this.
Just need to hear it,
Embrace it,
Then send it on its way.
Just nod and give me your knowing smile.
You don't have to understand.
All I need is your shoulder,
And a t-shirt you don't mind soaked with tears.
We've walked for miles,
And you haven't said a word.
I stop and lean in to kiss your lips.
I say it's time to turn around now.
Tell me the woes of your day.

I watched
As love was ripped from your arms
I watched
As your love was torn apart
I watched
And there was nothing I could do
But hold you back
Hold you down
I watched
As your screams of desperation
Ripped through my every fiber
I watched
As your world fell apart
I watched
As your future was taken away
There was nothing I could do
Nothing I could say
So I watched
As you watched
Your lover die

Let go
Unhold
Let it free
Let it speak
Let the words flow
Let the burden show
Unhinge your heart
Tend to the spark
A simple breath
Just blow
Watch it glow
Add to the flames
Feed it your fuel
Tend it carefully
It is yours
To keep
To warm by
To let go
Fill in the blanks
Fill in the hole
Erase the void
Patch your soul
Tend to your fire
To your heart
Acknowledge your desire
Dismiss your hurt
Let go your guilt
Embrace your joy
Grow up little child
Stand strong
But,
Don't forget your wonder
Keep hold your dreams
Defy your nightmares
Hold onto your peace
Everything else...
Just let go
