How is forever
Spelt for you?

I know your eyes
And the way your flesh
Overcomes me-
There was never any question-
The way my blood
Reached out for you.

I hesitate
But I want to say
You’re my forever- to me

And it’s all been written before-
Even as I say this
I know
That there’s nothing I could’ve done
To change it.

Part of me fights that-
Wanting life to be myne
But as I continue painting
The picture-
Its colors
Surprise me, in only the sense
That this has always felt right.

Like a fingerprint
And skin with no divide or seams

Yes there is more to me
But its you
And all blood and lies
Are foolish after that.
