If I look at you with my eyes closed
I can see the wound
You laugh at me
You just don’t draw the lines
But I see the pain
And if you weren't afraid of touch
I would reach within you
Pull out your heart
So you could get a good look at it

I ache to touch you
Touch is like water
And you are withering
I want to immerse myself in you
I feel so full
Sometimes it threatens to spill
As tears, or as the onslaught of words
That I sometimes almost drown you in

My spirit is filling
Gently exploding
Scattering sparkling, fragmented me
Glittering on your face and hands
As if you had lain outside all night
Gathering dewdrops
Your eyelashes limned in silver

The water that caresses
The water that binds
Me to you and us to the universe
All siblings and lovers and everything inbetween
With you I am bigger and better and wiser
With you I am everything
And everyone and everywhere
If I weren't only here with my eyes closed
