I'm Alone With You

nothing clear


it's not that I'm
afraid
of losing you
there is no reason to explain

unless you're crying,
and I'm alone

still
wouldn't matter
my truth is muted,
deleted from your songs

your sightlines are not shrinking

you just don't see me

unless
it serves you

being alone does not crowd my
thinking
its
being
alone with you

candles burning
vanilla flames

cinnamon fire
slowly heating

melting
will
you see me

alone with you

hearts are burning

blood is rising

pulses pounding

alone with you

candles melting
hearts aflame
pain
searing
blood
rising
rising
pain
not
dying
crying

alone with you.

it's not easy
knowing
nothing
more than
i need
to know

is it clean
or
is it messy
the truth
hidden

the way we like it

can't last forever
you told me
so

i believed you
wanted to
needed to

don't

need to be

alone, with you

ok, she fucked me, good
