(its in) the way

by Heather - Taurus

its in the way
you hold your breath
and smile at me;
 you take the air and shatter it
into words my soul can keep -

breaking my conscience 
 into two;
shaping the love i feel for you -

oh, it took years it seemed
to build up these defenses;
it took you a matter of minutes
to break down these walls;

and i love the way 
you cradle this heart
as if its the one sole thing
you'd die to keep.

so i melt within our shadows,
within your mouth;
privileged to bleed our love.

Reason for writing:

    my darling.
