Before, I was<\/p>\n
drowning in silence.<\/p>\n
Without you would be life without music.<\/p>\n
Of all the things that move through me,<\/p>\n
as the afternoon sunlight stretches over our bed<\/p>\n
I give myself to you, taste my skin<\/p>\n
like you do when our legs are tangled.<\/p>\n
Our song comes to an end<\/p>\n
You carry me to the water and I wait<\/p>\n
for something more to come,<\/p>\n
I stand naked,<\/p>\n
not quite ready to wash away this day<\/p>\n
I think about what kind of wood would I need to make a violin.<\/p>\n
What about a boat to sail away in?<\/p>\n
What about sheet music?<\/p>\n
What if I capsize?<\/p>\n
I hate to think of all those notes getting lost at sea.<\/p>\n
