surrender
it did happen suddenly
my own sanctuary taken from me so hastily
this has become routine for me
not one I have grown tired of,
but rather one whose familiarity brings me comfort
such as the smell of blooming flowers in the spring
or the scent of my cat's fur which could never become tiring.
despite this I have surrendered my own solitude
the cracks between those preoccupations accompanying me
becoming more hollowed out by the day
being restored by thoughts of you
I dispute the idea that this feeling
might only be a fleeting moment of curiosity,
a transient period to mend the threadbare strings of my heart
as I have surrendered my sanctuary to you
conceded my peace
for the warmth that I am consumed by at the mere thought of you
