Breathing together

The sweetest words I invented
were for daddy, they beat in my heart
but now they are for you

Now everything is different
now I know I'm only
now an adult

My brain is converted
and it knows it
my ******* are different

and my arms will be clumsily
empty awaiting you
when you are elsewhere

I am happy and will be
when you are, we breathe
together forever
