you are a saint
I am nothing

you saw the abyss
and you stared until it filled your periphery
I know you felt
as if you'd been robbed of all your agency
but my dear, I know
that all that is meaningful still surrounds you now
it waits for you to be ready
so I will take you by the hand
and show you all that you once knew
in all my hope that you'll emerge
cleansed of your guilt and just like new
and we'll dance
and we'll sing
and we'll laugh until our faces are wet
and we'll eat
and we'll hug
we'll do everything we were once so afraid of
talk to me
through one way mirror
i wish that i
could see right through
and we'll be together someday
and we'll be together someday
and we'll be together someday
and we'll be together someday
someday

please don't leave
i'll wait tonight
with watering eyes
place your hand
atop my head
take
me in
your name
my neck
this thought

in a house alone i stay awake. i dream of your face.. your, arms. i imagine what it would be like if i could do half as much good in a lifetime as you've done to me in this one year. i want to share this with you. after dinner i put the pill onto my tongue, i want to tell you again and again how wonderful this all is.
I immerse myself so deep in these fantasies
only to find that I have not experienced a warm embrace to imagine you delivering
only the intangible feeling of warmth and belonging
alongside regular longing
that which so often permeates the cavity my chest when I'm alone
please don't go
I will wait you know
morning comes in the hunk of drywall in which I exist exclusively
awaiting sacred signals sent here on occasion
so every night I imagine you cutting open my arms and squeezing lemon over my wounds
embarrassed by this I will not tell anybody
please don't go
I will wait you know
when you're ready oh
tell you about snow

what if you don't love me ?
oh I know that you don't love me oh
whisper oh so quiet
mouth your name to myself silently
before sleep
so that I may see you oh
in hope that you'll appear in my
dream
but to hear
your voice
is enough
for me
please permeate my life just like you
permeate my thoughts I'd like to
see you soon
but to have
your words
is enough
for me
in my notebook twenty two times over
try to paint a perfect picture of you
but to have
these thoughts
is enough
for me

just show me
everything
that you find beauty in
i'll let it surround me and
take me in, my body
eviscerated in
morning's first whispering
finally a part
of this world's gorgeous glistering

morning arrives
awaiting your reply
finding home
in your warmth
unrealistic
hopes depart
would you like to place your hand atop my weary head ?
i'll lie withing the crate inside the aisle by your bed
i know it's your position but through this i'd be made whole
you'd pierce right through and peer beneath the boundaries of my soul
feel i'm with you
in my home
but i truly
am alone

orchestrate
all of this for escape
or substitute
put in place of you
would you be upset if i told you that i did all of this for you ? i know i would
so i'll rely on these facsimiles i scribble in my notebook through each day
that i know could represent no single thing but my projection of your beauty
onto these people i imagine cuz deep down i know that surely you're a stranger
so i will wait
just like your dog
for your return
from wherever you are
and through belief that you're a saint or through admission that i'm wrong i hope to show you
the extent to which your actions always set my heart a-fluttering and warm
so i can hope that in the future maybe somewhere not so distant i can see you
not for a perfect ray of sunlight but the person underneath you really are
