Kevlarsoul

My fingers caress your skin

Soft and cool to the touch

Exposed to the breeze

Coming through the open window

Your breathing is heavy

And slow

Ever so neatly complying

With everything else you are

And your heart beats slowly

In perfect timing

In symmetry

With your world

I listen in

Hold you close

And imagine what you would think of

In that amazing head of yours

In the end

I'm only grateful

To be in your presence

To know your voice

Your heart

Your mind

Your touch

Everything that makes you

You

And I keep you

Next to my beating heart

Letting you in

But not near enough to hurt

I couldn't stand the hurt

I let your naïveté show me

That the world mustn't be so dark

So depressing

So full of sadness and pain

That people may have more

Than meets the eye

I let your sunshine

Block out my darkness

I let your warmth

Melt my frozen wastes

And I wish

In my realism

Maybe pessimism

That it might be so simple

I kiss your shoulder

It is cool against my burning lips

Exposed to the breeze

Coming through the open window

My thoughts rotate and form new ones

Collapsing in on themselves

And duplicating into what they once weren't

And now might be

How you keep me sane

I will never know

Do you?

I think

Not
