Our Universe

I need a map
For I am lost somewhere
In the universe of our skin
Between the beginning and end.
 
Part 1: Beginning
I know the crevice
Between your shoulder blades
It’s where I like to hide my face
Away from the light of the world
Your warmth pressed to my cheek.
 
Part 2: Middle
I recognize your hips
As the resting place for my hands
But they continue to travel
Your skin too smooth to ignore
Your bones too tired to move.
 
Part 3: Lost
My kneecaps rest inside of yours
Our legs melt together once more
You tangle up the many toes
We are no longer individual bodies
And I cannot find my way back.
 
Part 4: Turning Point
Just as I choose to lose myself
Inside this feeling of escape
You twist and turn over
My face is held in your hands
And your kiss brings me home.
 
Part 5: End
Once more I find my own skin
As we lay just inches apart
Enough to tell me we are separate
But my beginning is in your touch
And our ends within each other.

Does your worst anxiety Ever morph into complete boredom And you find you’re more afraid Of the people who know you best Than of the strangers in the room?
