I tried to tell you how much you mean to me.
How every part of you is made of the dark side of light.
How seconds hit like glass hammers.
How every millimeter of your skin softly sings a song only it knows.
I tried to tell you how much you mean to me.
How a billion black oceans float between the things you say.
How shadows chase shadows.
How low the birds fly when I blink.
I tried to tell you how much you mean to me.
How this house becomes church light in autumn.
How we can be, and be, and be, and be again.
How a porcelain heart can beat so hard it breaks itself.
I tried to tell you how much you mean to me.
But all that came out was poetry.
I have always known it was you......
