Nothing

You placed your hand on mine

and our fingers intertwined,

you drew circles on my wrist

with your scarred thumb

and everything began to fall

away from beneath me.

When you breathed my name,

I had nothing left to lose.

You created patterns on the back

of my frozen hand, connecting

lines to make tiny masterpieces and

they felt like a secret I couldn't keep.

I wanted to reach up and trace 

the features on your face, but

whenever I thought about shifting

my weight your eyes would fall on

mine and I'd be thrown into a maze

that I didn't want to escape.
