How did you enter?
Was it your syllables
Spilling between
My reciprocating hands?
Was it the first glance
The copious black
Of my smitten soul
Unwrapping your design?
Was it in the collapse of our lips
Or the mutation of our limbs?
Was it the divesting of muses
Born in equal measure
Astonishment and horror?
How is it that I resided
In your absence?
For living had not yet began
“Hello Love”
I know without knowing
That we are intended
It’s not the scars
That make me human
It’s the ability to persist
Despite crippling pain
And it’s to you I owe
Life ever since
