Past the Ink

Restless hearts

And aching minds

Barely glued 

Yet as I lie

Safely beside you

Gazing

Up to the splatter paint

That someone 

Carelessly

Dabbled above

I am reminded

No

I forget

Only for a moment

But that’s quite enough

All my fears

They seem to dissolve

Inaudibly

The feeling of

Being whole

The spark that

Settles deep within your chest

And lights a fire that

Burns you to the point

Where you can’t remember why

You’re laughing

Smiling

And leaning in 

Ever so slightly

Yeah we both know

That for a moment

Under these droplets of light

There’s no one here but us

No one here

To judge what we are
