Your name

 


I feel an ache in my gut

and it's getting bigger.

Stretching out around me

like a balloon,

and I am in the middle

just waiting for the pop

as reality bursts

back around me.

It just won't stop.

The yearning

The longing.

The earth is turning

but I’m stuck

just thinking of you.

 

I have a crack in my heart,

it's seeping over my lungs

into the lining of my stomach,

pooling up all over the top.

It makes me lovesick.

I feel every hope

rising to the surface.

I just wish to be where you are

holding your hand

as we watch the stars.

Listening to your breath

like it’s a song from the angels.

 

I'm running on fumes

longing to be

holding on to you

love,

but you float away

like every dream

I’ve ever had

and all I’m left

is a weighty feeling of dismay.

No one even knows the tears

that flow inside me.

Outwardly my face shows nothing.

Inside I am full of rivers,

icy depths that need reheating

by the power of your heart beating

beside me.

 

You are beautiful,

more beautiful than

any earthly view.

You carry a special light

inside of you, like a star

that has crashed to earth

and I’m drawn to you

like your gravity pulls me in

to become one with your burning flame.

Your name shines in

every thought that

flitters across my brain.

Your name dances across the rain,

in a strobing light show for the eyes.

Your name sits on my lips,

in a wish kissed to the skies.

Your name is nectar to my throat

Easing the rawness

of the tears on which I choked.

Your name is hope drawn

in scrawled crayon sketches.

Your name sits like the milk bottle moon

singing her luna tunes to me.

Your name stretches across the universe

and yet I hold it tightly inside for all time.

For love is all I can ever feel.
