That Which Binds Them Forever


She sought after the trivial to fill her depths

Bows perfectly perched on boxes 

Rose pettled floors

Words attempting to fill all the empty places

She was a glutton for love

Superficial affection became the crutches on which she balanced the weight of her insecurities

She attempted to love without knowing the greatest love of all

Motivated by the fear of never knowing true love, she immerced herself in HIM 

Wishing the validity of his presence was as easy as a handshake, she struggled to know HIM

Constant prayers behind closed eyelids became her refuge

Hidden from her own insecurities

Hoping to conceal the doubt shouting behind prayers filled with words of gratitude and favors

Then came the day of their formal introduction

The day HE broke her legs and carried her

Draping her over his shoulder she laid her doubts at his feet

Her void welcoming the fufilling nature of HIS presence

HE slowly became her definitive

HIS presence now faliing behind closed eyelids where doubt previously rested

As she laid next to her lover she felt HIS presence nestled between them 

She saw HIM in the sunrise every morning 

As the warmth peeked though the blinds and kissed each eyelid, she softly smiled

She passed on the contagious nature of HIS love and softly kissed each eyelid of the man HE created just for her

A soft grin formed as the eyes of her lover slowly opened

The corners of his mouth curved just as his body molded to fit hers every night before they went to sleep

He immediatly fell into the small cavities through which she saw the world 

Praying to find himself lost there forever

as they travel along this journey of knowing HE that binds them forever.
