my love, what have we done?

we kissed each other lipless
and hugged our limbs raw
hollowed out our centers
and filled them with our flaws

you kept me in a tiny box
only took me out for show
i buried secrets in your eyes
until they overflowed

we danced until our feet broke through
what a bloody, terrible sight
you carried me to shelter
but we wouldn't last the night

and so the night crept in, my love
my breath was spewing fire
my words surrounded your throat and choked
your last cries of desire

it's nobody's fault but our own
and from now to kingdom come
i'll be wondering all my days
my love, what have we done?

You'll See

Once upon a time
i was afraid
of me
without
you.

Now i'm afraid
of what might become
if we tried
to see
this through.

It's not giving up
if you just let go
because
it has
to be.

Our love will wash
upon another shore
someday
i swear,
you'll see.
