about

You.
hollow out my bones
crash like wind through me
blow away the doubt
that I could stand my ground
that I could stand my ground

I.
never had to look
much further than you
to blame someone but me
for everything I want
for everything I need

You.
be my gravity
pull and lasso me
and who am I to fight
the only thing I want
the only thing I need

I
blame the clock for all
blame my job for all
blame my life for all
the things that slip away
like you might slip away

You.
took more than I had
have more than I want
what’s the math of that
but proof you’re all I want
proof you’re all I want

I want
every part of you
every inch of you
until my finger prints
are gone like time away
gone like days away

You.
think like books are read
speak like lightning strikes
laugh like oceans swell
and wear my body down
and pick my body up

You.
a footprint in the sand
the waves they came and went
and washed away the chance
and washed away the chance
a footprint in the sand

I.
blame the clock for what
it can tick away
it can tock away
the chances that I had
the chance I never took.
