Web

I took the time
to learn you
to tangle myself
in your web of imperfections
to crave the laugh
I knew would one day
make my bones ache
from its fading
I memorized your words
sometimes calm
like breath on my spine
then more hot
than the sun I found
behind your kiss
I never realized
this wasn't honesty
never accepted no
contract lay
between our open palms
only wished
I could have been
what made you sigh
what made you breathe
the hands that calmed
the rage
the love that soothed
the burns
the one
