another place

when the velcro ripped
when my hand slipped out
my love increased

when the pain of your absence faded away
my love increased

when i learned how to sleep without you
my love increased

when i walked on the meadow completely absorbed
when i walked on the meadow completely full
when i walked on the meadow whole
my love increased

when i pronounced my name
all by myself
my love increased

i love you

------

ragged rocks
next to the ocean
ragged ocean next
to the rocks

they curl and make love
beneath my eyes

painful sweet love
necessary love

the painful sweet love
i want to make every day
as i carve myself into the ground

i bring painful sweet love into you
let me hurt you most beautifully
leave a mark to remember me

necessary love
charcoal love
