Ellipsis

The words that are not said, are felt.

I think about you more than I think about myself 

I'm willing to hold my breath 

So you my dear can take the air for yourself 

I know vices can be lethal

You drink and smoke

I indulge in loving you 

You complain I don't say I love you enough

I've carved you in me so deep

You've never bothered to see what lies below my cuff

In your torrid sexual desires you demand I express my romance

It's in the ellipsis where you fail to absorb my zest

Uncomfortable silences you call them

It's in the quiet I can hear the waves that collide against your wild oceans 

I have to hold your hand tight you say

My sleeve already wears you everywhere I go

I don't praise you enough

But if I told you that my flaws fail to exist because you, only you have the power to bring out my perfection

My best friend you call me

We both know we have never only been friends 

Disallow yourself from merely floating

Let's swim together

[Autumn Lyric]

Such powerful words unspoken but written upon the heart...enjoyed reading this very much; it is the pauses and the silences in our lives with others that magnify the sound of the love we truly give. Looking forward to reading more of your work.
