Wings of Desire

Like a shadow
elongated
in the afternoon sun
Like ngertips
trailing
lightly down lengths of hair
Distorted
or barely there
Yet unmistakable
I feel you
on days when i shatter
on the ground
Slim, hard
shards of girl
spread at your feet
You gather me
piece by piece
into a whole
greater
than the sum
of my broken parts
You are the glue
holding my heart
And you are the storm
that blows me apart
You ll me
like rain
in a well
You leave me empty
in my own little Hell
You are everything
and nothing
I feel you growing
inside me
like madness
Like love
Like sadness
Like wings
enfolding me
for a moment
before spreading wide
and ying away
