Step by Step

Step by step, take all of your distance away,

Just drop a hint and tell me to die,

Give me a clue of when you will arrive,

To the scent of being beside you, the aroma of your body.

I am scared of these dark nights that will burn tomorrow,

Of this repeated daily loneliness.

I am scared of the shadows behind each of the walls,

Of the destruction and erosion of this rubble.

I won't die without you; I will just be grappling with death.

I am an old wound without the ointment of your hands.

I can't, don't let me die; I will be entangled with death.

I won't stay; I know that I am sulky because of this repetition.

Without a sparkle in your eyes, I am scared of the night and lanterns,

Of losing you in my dreams; I am scared of this nightmare.

I will not die without you; I will just be grappling with death.

Thanks! ❤
