Devotion

I cannot see through to the other side,
I am afraid,
I don't know what resides there.
Others have somehow gone before, but
They forgot to build a bridge across.

Will you hold my hand, here
In this dark place, and
Go with me, into the unknown.
To obey is better than to wait alone in the stillness
You said that we've only just hit the tip of the iceberg
That this goes so deep, so wide, and so high.
That I've only just had a taste of you
And that I must wait to see all that you have for me.

But in this place
Where I have knelt & felt peace
I have come to love.
Ripping me out of here would mean
That everything I've ever known will change, will be rewritten.
Do I take this chance offered, or do I swim in this ocean of complacency?

You say that your house is my house.
You say that your bed is my bed.
You say that everything you have is mine.
So what can I bring?
What do I have, to bring, to you?

My heart seeps outside of my body
In an all out effort to salvage what remains.
Pick it up with your hands and
Crush it to your chest and breathe in the scent of my wet blood.
It's nothing like the blood you gave to me.
I don't know how to match it.

Let me lay my head down on your body,
And rest.
