Poem 16

When I am in your arms

When I am in your arms
I am simply nerves and lungs and heart
My heart beating soveryfast
in my chest
My lungs to match you
with each perfect breath,
two joined as one
And my nerves
all of them to feel you
right here next to me.
I simply melt into you.
I would be nothing
without you nearby.

Our Story

It's not his story.
He was wounded from the start,
Vulnerable from his words.

It's not her story.
She tried to ignore the truth,
And became more hurt than healed.

It's not their story.
They never really cared at the start,
So how could the end have been different?

No, it's our story.
The last two people thought of,
Stepping together first.

Our lovely story,
Where everything that's been solved
Is meant to last a lifetime.
