Envy

God I love you
I know that I always have
From before this version on my soul drew her first breath
I have loved you
It is as if you are a sold and tangible part of me
As if I am unable to feel whole without you

No one can help me
I'm drowning in your truth
In my truth this time 
Because I can never let you know

It is a painful place to be
Comstantly feeling like I will never be yours
Thinking I can never
Say to you what is in my heart, my mind
My soul, my sex
I can never truly let you in
Not all the way

Because then I will lose you

And I can't lose you

It would be like tearing my skin off my body and 
My pound of flesh given

I tearing in my brain, a split, schism 
Seeing you love her, hearing the devotion you have
Knowing there is nothing I could ever do to change that
Knowing how happy I am for you

Because I am genuinely so
Because even though I want you all to myself
Wrapped up in me

There is no rock or hard place
There is no silver lining
This. Just. Is. 

I love you. 
I love you. 
I love you. 
I love you..

Damè

I whisper your name to break the silence
I'm resigned to you now
Imagination gives me what I want
It makes you tower above me, my protection

I must remind myself to breathe when I'm around you
I must force the air back out of my lungs
For in that exchange I am home

My hand slides into yours effortlessly 
I stand and feel the warmth of your hand
on the small of my back, guiding me, leading me

My breath catches as you slide your arm around me and pull me into you
Pressing my body into yours
My heart pounds in my ears like a storm
Waves crash in my belly
You are my shore

It is terrifying to touch you
sadness, longing, guilt
heat
desire
I am glowing just being near you

Needing to drown in you
Please just brush my lips with your finger
Please just touch my neck
Please, just, please

Is it real, this thing?
I could make you happy,
I could make you love me,
I could disappear completely.

Estoy celoso


 Estoy celoso , muy celoso , pero no tienen derecho a ser.
Quiero ser ella.

Choice

This choice was anything but a choice
I did not move a single step
Not to the left or right
I did not move forward toward you
I was forced
I was pulled
I could not have stayed anywhere other than near you

Lifesaving spiderwebs of heat enter into every pore
The power you hold is magic
The way you stay always foggy in the back of my thoughts
I can not shake you because the world would swallow me if I did
You are mine
You hold so much of me without ever knowing
If you know the power you have, you never abuse it
Because my truth is in this pull
I can not stay anywhere other than near you
