Eros

 

You .

Are the first and last thing
I think about every day.
Your name is etched in bold letters
Across my brain
So say something,
Something that makes it all worthwhile
I wear my heart on my sleeve,

I give everything I have
Every ounce
Every inch
Every fiber of my being
Trying to feel the fiber of your fabric
Your leaves caress around my every branch
So tightly
Pulling at my roots,

And I don’t even fight it.
Because your everything I want to fall into
I want to be the curve at the corner of your lips
Forming a smile that cannot be wiped away
To be laugh lines
Etched into your canvas so every time you look in the mirror
I am reflected.

Maybe I expect too much.
