You
Cut by cut by cut
You read me
With blood and words of love
You feed me
Night and day and night
You tend me
In my broken dreams
you mend me
my every rip and tear
you sew me
in darkness and in light
you grow me
when I can't touch the floor
you ground me
when I'm alone, and need
surround me
in beauty and in youth
outstrip me
in valour and in truth
you sip me
hands on skin and hands
you touch me
mouth on blood and mouth
you suck me
pain on deepest pain
you hug me
even though I'm vain
you love me
through cat-eyed jealousy
you'll know me
through love in drowning sea
you'll own me
in summer you're the sun
above me
and under winter stars
you love me
in spit and semen, sweat
you'll taste me
morning after sweet night
face me
when my heart shakes and bleeds
you still me
and if you ever leave
you'd kill me
(For Matthew)
