i don't have any secrets from you
i told you everyday with my eyes
i took a breath last week and emptied out
all of my grief and all of my doubt
i doubled over, my chest closed tight
dropped tearstained lashes and slept all night
awaking to a brand new mind
a fresh new heart, i woke to find
exactly what i left in the dark
sleeping soundly by my side
never shallow, never malicious
all too ready to cover me in kisses.
it's not the same as it was before.
