I’ve loved you
Ever since the Apple Trees
Blossomed
And the smell filled me
Up
With a deep longing
To hold You
To kiss every line
on your ambrosial
Face
There’s no more
Space
In me
I’m no longer my own
Self
Love buried in a field of
Apples
Your eyes
Supine
Begging the heavens
To let this moment
last
Forever

She wanted more than hollow words and pretty smiles, she wanted the darkness that lived in her mother’s eyes to touched her. She wanted to understand how someone so fragile could carry so much pain tucked away beneath her rib cage. All the damaged years, every lonely nights tells the same story.
She found a way to shine through the pieces of her fragmented soul.

In a world
Without a fighting chance…
Your love surged
In my veins
And I felt forever
Drawn in my blood
I knew in that moment
I would die daily
For you
I knew pain could not
Touch us
I knew the world
Could not break us
And at the end
We would fold into
Each other
And breathe as one
