Come Close

Come Close Come close, love Let the space between us die I have waited in the dark for the weight of your sigh Your breath is a prayer I am dying to answer Your skin is the scripture I was born to remember Pull me under the hush of your mouth Teach my restless hands how to worship you now I am aching in places no one has ever known Come closer until the world is only bone and bone Feel how my pulse breaks against your chest How every unspoken want finally confesses I will give you the softest parts I have kept locked away Just come closer and take what is already yours to claim Come close, love Dissolve the last inch of air I want the heat of you living inside me like prayer Devotion is the only language my body still speaks Come closer… and stay
