i face the world
with my fire in my eyes,
i look back
when i run,
my hands know
my sheath -
and the blades
i lick clean.
(i was born to fight).
i face you
with water in my soul,
your hands
cover my eyes,
and your fingers
lock into mine -
even when i dig my nails
into your flesh.
(you say: fight me instead).
and i fall into you
like a heap
of tired limbs
lay my head
on your chest.
and i surrender
to your heart
because i never
stood a chance
against the man
who claimed me.
(you vs me).
