And with each touch
The sheer proximity
More than a closeness of breaths
I looked into my mirror
Eyes of red
Tears of barrenness
So desolate, unmercifully thrown
Into vast nothingness
But eyes, they reflected
Eyes not stained with regret
I'll kiss the tears
If you forever live from my cup
Beside my footprints
Echoed
Intense, our shadows entwined
Let me drink from your palm
You filled me, I flourished
One drop at a time
Life of my blood
Blood of my veins
Let me wrap around your skin
I will guard you
With the warmth that unfolded
From our heart's winter breath
As we melted, so many ages ago
Let me cover you.
