Burying Hell

when we pour ourselves into each other

clutching and

scratching upon every surface trying to leave a mark

so as to not forget

how irresistible it is

and the after 'I Love You's that

wrap everything up into

a perfect memory

of moments where you could cling to me

and never let go if

you had a choice

we are trying so hard to

be part of one another

in every way

emotional and physical

that every slit that divides us

hurts

we fight so hard to be where we are

and it all seems worth all the 

tears and

heartburns

when you lay your hands on my body

and trace the lines on my face in a continuous

shape of a heart

you are saying the words

you don't know how to utter

and i swear, i understand

it is like when i

cut up my heart like

your piece of cake

for you 

for you

i do it all for you

and the smile on your face when you

realize

is so beautiful.
