In
Your Palm






If you knew all the thoughts

That go through my mind when

The presence of you fills

The middle of my chest

Like a tight and warm and aching

Clenching

How my feelings dance from

The place of being afraid

To the place of

Laughter

And trust

Then I am taken to

An overwhelming longing

A poison that

Flows deeply through my veins

A longing

For you and nobody else

But you

If you only knew what it feels like

And if you could see me every moment

Scared but brave

Serene but

Overcome with passion

You would find me to be a most

Wild thing

Difficult to grasp

And yet

I fit most perfectly in the palm of your hand
