Held

I will look for my satisfaction 
in the sound of your voice
and the straight stare of your eyes
that I never want to move from
until you reach for me again
with your hands
with your life
with the light that I feel
when I am forever drowning in darkness
with anyone else 
I am content to stay 
held in the corners of your past
for as long as today remains
