Lightness and Weight

Love me eternally,  heart's gravity

love me once, free of consequence

a moth to a flame

light on her wings

defying gravity

You began by possessing all of me

now, you give me back to myself

Piece by piece

kiss by kiss

bite by bite

we call this love

you took me, broke me, and returned me to myself in pieces

and when I stitch this flesh back together again

with a little help from my horses

and all of my friends

i will still bear the scars of your love

lines like a map etched across my flesh

when all is given, returned, pieced together

lines are drawn

Will you read the map that is sketched onto my flesh back to me

and guide me home?

or do you still have another compass to follow

Leaving me alone?

A moth to a flame

Wings consumed by the light

Her love dying weightlessly
