Your birthmark is like a map
guiding me to your body
how many miles until I reach your heart?
the distance to your lips won’t stop me
the journey to see you within you is somewhat pleasant
every curves and speed bumps
even the mountains have junk in their junk
the field I wished to dance
with my fingers at the tip of your hair
the moon and the sun shine in your eyes
I wish to be lost by the discovery
that’s within in you; I’m free
a man of my own
yearning to breathe
by the sight of you
you gave me wings to fly
water to swim deep in your soul
the shade when you kissed
I can feel the golden warm in you
Giving me life back
I’m awaken
then you say goodbye
and took back those gift you gave me
I’m nothing
but hopefully what’s left
remains is enough
to survive without you
