Until

Look at you sleeping. How could you ever know the darkest levels you have grown painfully in to me? or hold the kind of weight that you do? You know, in my life I had come to feel there was a screen between me and the heart of things, and which I felt you slide away. There is silence in the way that you unclose me. There is lightning in the gaze in which you hold me. Let life lift me over the dark of my design and fold me in your perfect light, where I’ll find a closure, and questions I confined, a freedom that I went the wrong ways to feel. Show me all I ever translated in to pain that, knowing, I might see better with – and I will. You’ll hold me together wholly in your arms, and know how much I need you then; and until.
