For you
I waited so long
all of your faces
every name and body
Your hair was brown
then red
now it is grey
and i am bald
Your eyes were so bright
then wet with tears
now, are they closed?
Your voice was sweet
soft and inviting
then harsh and raging
now it is quiet
Your touch was
soft, then firm
your nails dug
under my skin
Our hearts beat
without fear
we bruised ourselves
on one another
then covered our bare chests
with our hands and words
as we watched our tomorrows
all fall away ~
