Be not my world
for if you were my world
then your laughter becomes
the earthquakes rattling my bones;
and those tears trail down
as rain, poisoning my lips.
Be not my world,
where your voice resembles
wind: to sicken me with flu.
And your hair—the swelling ocean
surrounding me to drown.
Be not my world,
where specks of white on your nails
evolve into ill-formed clouds
where that firm grip becomes the sky
and gravity the hug
that embraced me off the cliff
and into those sunken black depths
of eyes— I fall and I die
for you.
Be not my world, but my partner
and let us walk this course together
hand in hand as lovers both
step by step as mortals also.
Be just us against the world.
