A Moment Close
Keziah Roether
It is how I loved you
That will supersede the separation of my soul from my bones
That will bind the light between space and time
In the ethereal heartbeat that I felt with my head against your chest
A resonance singing like a chorus of lives you have lived
A testament to the joy you have felt
And the love you have dealt
Wrapping my fingers in the locks of your hair
As if they were meant to keep me bound to you
In an unspoken contract of understanding and compassion
A suicide pact meant to kill the loneliness of our exclusive existences
Now a collective of experiences and emotions
I hope you hold my regard for you as tightly as you hold me to you
And as I wish with both
Oh god, as I wish with both
You never let me go
Don't ever let me go
