<\/p>\n
My love<\/p>\n
I’m nothing in your wake<\/p>\n
the youth you hold<\/p>\n
makes me quake<\/p>\n
and it is all I can do<\/p>\n
to hold this clay that aches,<\/p>\n
together\u00a0 — all for your sake.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You are a fist<\/p>\n
that comes down upon my heart<\/p>\n
giving a life<\/p>\n
a spark, a start<\/p>\n
all so I can plead your case<\/p>\n
before time’s royal immense face.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My love,<\/p>\n
don’t take these stuttered words for truth.<\/p>\n
I’m only like you<\/p>\n
who so perfectly fill up space<\/p>\n
that other’s only suffer from.<\/p>\n
Exist and shine<\/p>\n
like an unseen sun<\/p>\n
beyond the incompletness<\/p>\n
we are burnt by.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
O! how foolish I was<\/p>\n
trying to douse your flames!<\/p>\n
Instead I climb these steps<\/p>\n
and make of myself an offering.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is no boast.\u00a0 Honestly.<\/p>\n
