A response to Leah feeling she can't "love me enough or as deeply"

I'm not asking to be loved the way I love. No one can do that but me. I don't ask or expect anyone to love or feel as deeply as I do. All I ask for is YOUR love, the way you love, however deep it is, no one loves like you. Nobody can love anyone equally.

I built you a house
Inside of me
Because wherever I go
There I am
Safe at home inside myself
And wherever I go
There you are too

She's a breaking wave ( Read more... )

Under rug swept
But I do not regret
This creature I've become
Pride or shame
All are in my hands now
And my voice echoes
As my own

I wear you against my skin
Like armor
But I am my own
And you are yours
Our solitudes a complement
Like water over stones

Your soft lips caressed my scars
But they don't rest easy
The weight of a blade in one hand
Is a siren call
Crying for the release of old form
The heft of that small knife
Is temptation incarnate
But these scars, this skin
Prefers your lotus petal lips
To the kiss of old steel
And so I sheathe the blade....

I've folded myself
A hundred times
To fit like origami
In your mouth

I walk these grounds with impunity ( Read more... )

I love in black and white ( Read more... )

Breath for breath
Heart to heart
No longer afraid
Never apart
