Home Now

One night
Two night
Won’t cross that line
There is more joy
In my heartline
Than ever before

There is no one
To give it to
No, not even you
Can receive these words
So just know

Those moments
Are wedged so tightly
In my heart
I’ll think of them fondly
For years to come

If I shall err on the side
Of saying too much
I think
I will call you when I’m home now

Unclothed
Unglued
Unlearned trauma
I don’t think of anything else
When I’m with you

I got overheated
Needed a moment to breathe
And you gave it to me
A relief

In gentleness and criticism
The beauty of intimate subtleties
A sweet reckoning

If I shall never see you again
Know it was real when we confessed
I think I’ll call it home now

Empty promises
On the line
Trust me
This will fade in due time
But do you want it to?

100 kisses
100 misses
Never have I ever bared witness
Like I do now

This cross I bear
The loss of our affair
A rewiring of the desires I declare

In my daydreams
I will write to thee til I sleep
Cause you’re home now
