Here She Comes Again

Your fingertips trail across my skin

Slow and gentle.

My neck arches

As my eyes drift closed.

You,

Only you,

Can do this to me.

Time stops

The world slows

In a different way than before.

The demons beneath my skin

They listen to you

As you lull them to sleep

With each pass of your hands.

The worries and fears

That live on a loop in my brain

They pause

As you ease their manic energy

With each touch of your lips.

The hurt and pain from the past

That eviscerate my heart at times

They soften

As you guide me 

To you

To love

To patience

To understanding 

With every whisper beside my ear.

I came to you

Half smiles on my lips

Worry in my heart

Pain in my eyes

As the storm raged within me.

You stepped in anyway

Dressed in black

No halo to be found

Drenching yourself in my storms

As you walked every corner and closet

Every alley way and dead end

Until you knew me

Fully.

Then you gave me you.

You held me tight

Showing me

All the ways I could trust you,

Never asking for it,

Showing it 

Proving it.

You gave me new experiences 

Showed me how you love

Gave me an entirely new world

To call my home.

You let me see you

Let me wander your soul

Trusting I wouldn't trample it.

The smiles are genuine now

The worry is less so

The pain nowhere to be found,

All thanks to you.

As you showed me how to love myself 

By loving me so fully,

Even at my lowest,

That I finally saw my worth.
