Tarmac

I'm lying here beside you.

I'm also a million miles away. 

But it doesn't matter

Because I know you'll still be there when I get back.

One arm around me

One behind your head.

Eyelashes stroking your cheeks. 

The rise and fall of your chest like the tides

Away from the blood and the shit and the boredom of everyday life,

It's hard to imagine any reason to leave.

It's the gritty sticky tarmac of my heart

That you've walked across.

Leaving your handprints and footprints

Your words, the very essence of you.

And its since dried, solidified.

Leaving those marks that you made

Forever imprinted on me.
