Glasnost

I've heard your breathing
Right next to my ear
I've heard your sleepy
Underwhelmed tears

I hear your silence
Companiable and long
It sounds like the echo
Of some long forgotten song

Sing me your song
Sing it loud and clear
Tell me your truths
Help me covet you, my dear

In the glow of that honesty-
Love, I will keep you safe and warm
But if you should wish withholdment
I'll still keep you sheltered from the storms

It's not going to be all smooth sailing
And there'll be days and weeks of night
But I'll still be there on those days-
Days when sunshine don't feel right

If I ever leave
It'll be purely incendental
Because all I want is to hold your hand
Forever- reverently and gentle
