I want you to wake with me
In the place where salt air
Floats through our open window
And soaks into our thirsty skin
The place where our minds
Are as tangled together
As our bodies
Beneath the worn sheets
Where I find refuge in
The tremble of your breath
Against mine
I want you to wake with me
In the place where clocks
Do not exist, and time
Steals naught away
The place where fear
Loses grip on my heart
With each moment
Your ravenous hands
Take grip of my flesh
No longer falling away
But complete
I want you to wake with me
In the place where the pieces
Of our glorious madness
At once make perfect sense
The place where you
Will trace gentle lines
Over the scars I hide
And I will kiss healing
Into the wounds you deny
And our skin will weep
No more
I want you to wake with me
In the place we will never leave
And here we will make our home
Here we will stay.
