Escape

Originally written June-July 2015

I want to be your escape.
Your break away from the world
Your window seat.
The waves along the shore crashing against your feet.
Let me be your sunrise, your brighter day.
Eyes you can look into and lose your troubles...
Even if for only a moment.
Let me be your moment
Away from it all.
Your lifeline call when you feel yourself slipping.
Let me be your gripping.
Get your bearings with me.
Just hold on and enjoy if only for this moment.
Let me be your escape.

I just want someone who is gonna love me freely with full abandon.
With no clauses or pauses.
Without fear of my wildness.
Love my mind and the ebb and flow of every thought. 
As though this is the very purpose for which he'd been wrought.
Hammered, beaten, shaped...
To love me effortlessly
Even when he doesn't like me.
Even when he wants to spite me.
His very being aches to love me.
Deeply and dauntlessly.

'him' - a haiku

I'm missing your voice
It's the closest thing I have
Akin to your touch
