Consumed

I see your face in the darkness shrouding
As we make love

sullen eyes filled with joy
staring past my sin

past my shroud

only you could ever know me.
only you can ever see past me

I don't know what to do or say
but just lie here with you
in my deepest chest
beating, thumping
throbbing your love
into my body
into my soul
into my very existence

only you can understand me.
only you care.

And I'm overwhelmed by this feeling
beyond the pleasures I've known
beyond the thoughts I've had

I'm stuck in a place that I don't want to move from
that I don't have to move from
that only you can keep me in

I'm fragile, and I fail.
Keep me in your embrace
in your arms
for eternity.

infinite Goodness,
please,
consume me.
