To tell him i've fallen.

I wish I could tell him
That my heart longs for his touch

That my anxious mind is deeply taken
By that look in his eyes
When he smiles at me

The way they sparkle
as if never before had I witnessed
a single star in all my living

I wish I could tell him
the vision of his face upon the pillow
next to mine now haunts my nights
in his absence

that his voice is all I hear
even in those moments
Of silence

Nothing else exists

My skin the hairs upon my body
Are lost without direction

Something is his tenderness
weightlessness in his affection

I'm drowning without
the water i fear
longing to hold him near

I wish I could love him freely
without the absence of these words

To tell him I've fallen
and wish to never get back up

but I fear he may then run
and that I cannot risk

For I've always lived in darkness
until he became my Sun.
