I kissed your eyelid
with my long dark lashes.
And the wings that I spread
were revived from the ashes.
I kissed your forehead
with my thin red lips.
And my heart that I dread
lived beating within your ribs.
I heard the words unsaid
with my insightful ears.
And I loved sharing your bed
even with falling tears.
You embraced me when I wept
even when the weakness lingered.
You made my soul go undead
through the strengths you whispered.
