I'll Always Breathe You In

I'm borrowing you

I hope that's 

okay

I know I'll have to

give you up

one of these 

days

But until

that day comes

I'm going to soak up

all the moments

you make me feel

undone

I'll cover every inch

of you

with the softness

of my skin

and before we close

our eyes

each night

I'll always 

breathe you in

Unraveling

I see the way

you dream

You've opened up

my eyes

My soul is bursting

with one hundred colors

for you

I see the light dance

in your eyes

I can use it

to watch you

unravel

You keep unraveling

before me

With each thread lost

I see more of your gold

more of your glow

I can feel my soul dancing

and it's dancing 

for you

-June 2014

Detached

We walk

with our heads

pointed down

Our faces

lit up

with nonsense

We ignore

all the realness

and soak up

all the fake

Our dreams

become

laughter

While our fears

become

our comfort

Afraid we'll

shatter

if we move
