young wonder

in agony that you'll never know
the beautiful adventures we embarked on
the nights we spent entangled
the rosy hush and limbic blush

all the dreamer, never the dream
and so much was lost to the heart
to the soul of what you are
and the lights you're blooming under

why the ice that so easily melted
when your love was bare
just as easily froze again at the turn
of your bone-cold shoulders

my heart, you will never know
how i've bled with you and cried for you
and imagined myself to be your protector
your lover, your strength and your resting place

to see you sweetly tied up in his arms
this is nature like an infant pressed to the womb
mourning the loss of her once-home
you will never see with eyes like mine

lover, i will stand here by you
dreaming with you, smiling with you
and you will never have to be
burdened by the wounded truth

that i love the young wonder.
