Hold Me

hold me in your 

trembling, tremulous heart.

embrace me with your

eager, searching hands.

thrill me with your 

yearning, hungry kisses.

cast away shadows with

your cheery, lustful smiles.

ease my troubles with your 

rumbling, soothing voice.

tell me sweet things, 

promise me kind words.

keep me near your

heart, your soul, your mind.

honor me with your

tender, lasting compassion.

shield me in your

truth, your integrity.

share your secrets, 

your light, your darkness.

buy me food, like

pizza and tacos.

hide nothing, not

even the last fry, the last chocolate.

carry half my burdens,

and i'll dry your tears.

lift my spirits,

i'll please you endlessly.

accept me as i am, 

i will elevate you.

i am here,

you are here.

together we can fall

into the sky and fly.
