To the one I love…

How can I have a way with words and yet still stutter at the thought of your voice

When did loving you and feeling nothing morph together

Where is a place where I hear you say you love me but hear no noise

I remember all the things you said you wanted.

I remember all the things I didn’t feel and all the marks I left on myself

That have left you haunted

But you are my peace when I can’t hold myself up

My legs when I can no longer walk

My voice when I can no longer speak

You are you my lungs when I can’t breath

Tonight I am cold and the only thing that can warm me up, are your arms

Tonight I am insecure and the only thing that can fix it is your presence

Tonight I am feeling too much and the only thing that can fix it is your words

Tonight I am lonely and the only thing that can fix it is your soul

Tonight I am sad, and the only thing that can fix it is you.

I love you but,

If words could harm others,

Then the three words

I love you

would be murderers.
