Us

I'm going to
stay
here all night
I'm
going to
make you see
put my faith
my faith in
us
and trust
trust
that you'll come
to me

breathe.

all I have to
do
is open
my lips
and let the
water
fall from them

then
may I again
breathe

it is all
in the letting go

place

the rain droplets
like messengers
fall
each one
hitting home
making
contact
with their
destination
as I rest
perhaps
I, too,
might find my place
tonight

Mercy.

I know that you
can ruin me
I would
let you
I'll stand here
waiting for
the next command
for the moment
you decide
either way
and tell me
what you want
if you want
anything
if you want it
all
if you
want it at all
letting whatever
become my new
reality
I let you penetrate
but it was
something to me
more than
that
I want to let
you inside
the consequences
looming
I let you position me
place me
rate me
and decide
I await
your cruel
mercy
