I had never thought of him
anywhere else
than in my shadow
in my voice
and in the darkness down below
Who broke this child in a grown body
How can I show him
a lifetime of care
in a moment
For the first time
I see him
not a spirit
not a monster
but truly as he is
a lost boy
desperate for what he barely understands
and what he doesn't know how to give
My first kiss was full of fear and sympathy
The second was simply because I wanted to
I finally saw love in his eyes
and my soul cracked
