Can you bring warmth
to the damaged parts?
Will you cradle tenderly the pieces
that are rabidly torn and blindly broken apart?
Can you hold in softness
a heart that is unable to trust in love?
Do you know how to make love to a body
that is tense with the anticipation of being
abandoned, the steely promise of betrayal it believes
is laced into the lingering sweetness of every kiss?
Sometimes I live in the darkness
and the darkness tells me she will save me
as she consumes me.
Other times I can look into your eyes
and think that maybe for tonight,
maybe I'll dance with you in the light.
