Stay here in me
The warm comfort of your soft soul
Mold against my body,
And here, is when I feel most whole,
Your heart less than twelve inches away
From my own heart
You make me scared and vulnerable,
And with just a caress of your hands,
I am put bare to the world.
From the bottom of your toes,
to the button of your nose,
I hold you within my womb
And wait until the day you undo
The essence of me
With the tips of your fingers
