Love In Abstract - The Beginning
Out of the darkness I fell, forward with a staggering gait
Into the blue
Into the light
Gazing at the wall before me
Panicked at the thought of a lock I couldn't pick
The foothold I wouldn't find
Stressing the need for a line I shouldn't cross
In case I was blind
Out of the darkness I fell
Love in Abstract - The Middle
Fingers entwined and promises made on a snowy day
Not of marriage
No, not of marriage
But of death
Said in jest
Just in case
But a promise all the same
I will be yours and you will be mine
Love In Abstract - The Commitment
In the spring, in a well lit room you stood close, plucking my heart from beneath my ribs
Carefully
Easily
Holding it in your hands like a well worn timepiece
It's beat keeping time with yours
That's what I remember
In the summer you brought it back to me, laying it down between us
Carefully
With trepidation
Watching me, watching you
Waiting for the break
Waiting for the return to its rightful place
Its rightful place was always you
Love in the abstract - The Last Chapter
365 Days
Since
You gave yourself to me
With a word
365 Days
My Hand
Always in your hand
Yours in mine
365 Days
We Cried
Shoulder to shoulder
Drying each other's tears
365th Day
I watched
While you left in one breath
Without fear, you were gone
