Submerged

I feel close to God when I whisper your name after a sublime ‘oh’

 

When you play the guitar

It feels like sex

Something I feel like telling you but

It might break the spell

​​

I dont feel safe with you because

I cannot share the magic I feel when you ride your car in the seat beside me

and the way my fingers vibrate from caressing your hair​

 

I don't think you feel it​

 

I share with you my insecurities because I feel like

there is no way out

And you confront me with my fears

And my own ability to surmount them

 

You are right but

That is not what I wanted you to say

​​

You shine a light on my shadows 'til they submerge me

And while being in awe of your light

I can’t remember my own

​
