It’s only you
Ever you
Who brings me close
To believing I’m
Something more than a
Promise and bones wrapped together with
Skin and whispers
It’s only you
Who keeps me
And makes me
Strong
And happy
With whom I’ve become
It’s only you
Ever you
With my heart tied
To a telephone line
I breathe
And
Release everything
That’s
Everything
To me
Because it’s only you
Ever you
Who I need
When I can’t
Make it on
My
Own.
