If I drown myself in drink and yet remain thirsty, I haven’t drunk from your cup.
If I devour endless food and yet remain hungry, I have not eaten from your bread.
If I gaze across the universe and yet see no beauty, I have not gazed upon You.
And if I seek to be full and yet remain empty, I have not known You.

Maybe it's our flesh that limits us,

Yet tearing it apart remains but a question.

I can't wipe your blood when mine runs red,
I can't piece you back when I lay a puzzle.
I can't drink in your tears,
When drowning calls my soul.

We exist
In the spaces between the lines
In the pages of a story
That we write at different times

We live
In the subtle phrases
In the corners of a poem
That we read in early morning

We love
In between the moments
In a way we can't quite say
That we know is far too dangerous

Wash your hair
Pretend to care
Sit and stare
That feelings there

Low horizon sun
Slips across a polished floor
February sky

Good days
Bad days
The line is thin
Emotions have dried
There eating
You within.

Let me back in
I’ve done
nothing wrong
Let me back in
It’s where I belong.

I’ll sit on the floor
Outside your door
A week
A month
Even a year
Your worth
The fight
I love you
My dear.

Why you are like this
I do not know
Your sunshine is there
Please let it glow.
Let me back in
I’ve done
nothing wrong
Let me back in
It’s where I belong.
