Your hair has grown…

returned to looking like
the man I’ve always known,

the one who understands.

There are wrinkles in the corners of eyes,
we’ve killed the time together, (from then to now),
you being there regardless,
picking me up again and again,
teaching me how to breathe,

“remember to breathe and you’ll be ok”

Somehow I always forget again.

I’ve never known what to do with you,
There is an instinct to sabotage such clear devotion.
Put to rest
the vicious truth of your power
over me.

(I rely on you too much)

the fact you…
bring quiet to my hysterics,
the contradictory my endless frenzy,

Like salt in my eyes it stings,
to know I don’t want you to leave.

So…
when in the stillness of the morning,
with your warmth engulfing,
there are flashes of unadulterated dread,
that I will one day be left without you,
knowing from then on I will be completely alone.
for Chris...
