H E A V I N E S S

DESERVED

i am heavy,

with my love

resting on my back.

lying down could

never hold me up,

like lying down with

the thought of you

wistfully, i am

awake. listening

to the outside world

breathing soft.

i am contented with

my heaviness, that

holds your love close.

i have always deserved this -

borne from a bar of a cage, and

you have always deserved this -

missing a bone from your body.

we are deserving of

each other's heaviness,

and so we are complete

in each other.
