I'm Not Comfortable In Heels

I wish you'd come and sit in silence with me

your presence enough for me to lean against

just be here

quietly

and hold me up

so I can ease

and breathe

and find that space of comfort

letting go

love used to be simpler

when we were children

when there wasn't such a need

when it was see and speak and know

and marriage was the first step

just like all the movies say

I see it's all relative

all of it

there is only the truth that I

separately

understand

alone

so I wrap myself around you

legs and arms and skin against skin we breathe into each other('s)

space 

no longer

separate

for a time

joined

entwined

not twisted

but curled

and curved together

eternally

externally

internally too

you can share a breath with someone

without losing your own

green, you say, green

gold, I say, gold

and

let me 

turn 

that 

up 

for you

new
