You

You occupy my thoughts
In a way that speaks of
Subtly and simplicity. 
Beautiful by design,
Much in a minimalistic 
Way of wanting
What is not mine. 
These thoughts that 
Threaten to spill,
I keep guarded and 
Close to my heart,
Every word that is
Left unspoken 
Seems to be laced
With fear and calm. 
What was once kept
Hidden away now
Threatens to pull
Me down. 
But if down is where
You pull me...
For once I wouldn't 
Mind.
If down is where
My wanting pulls me
For once I wouldn't 
Mind. 
And perhaps my 
Biggest fear is not 
The promised high,
But instead the threat
Of failure; the threat of
Falling. 
Falling into something 
That should feel so very 
Right. 
But your limbs
Entangled in mine 
Are what feels so 
Very right. 
And feeling your chest
Rise and fall
With every breath 
Keeps me at peace 
For one more moment 
Until daybreak when
I turn to face reality...
And of course, you've 
Already left. 
So perhaps this is 
A mistake,
Maybe a step that
We should not take,
But when I fall asleep
At night one thing is
For certain;
If this is a road that 
Would be left better
Untouched,
I want for nothing more
Than for you to be 
My undoing. 
You are my 
One intention.
