Nexus

I expose all my nerves to you:

Strike them however you may,

That sparks may run up my spine,

And I light my brain on yours.

Let my plexus merge together,

Into a single center with yours.

And all our endings be beginnings,

Into which our pulses flow.

Do whatever you may with me,

As long as it's you who does it.

If the feeling would last as long,

It'd be the same if you'd break me.

Whatever happens between us,

I live to be someone closer to you.

I'm thankful to know that you exist —

Naught can ever take that away.

Hurt me and I'll cherish the wounds,

That your touch has left behind.

Leave and still we share one world —

And I'll adore the air we breathe.

You'll draw out my soul as you let go,

Till it fills the space between us:

Expanding to contain you in itself,

And lay bare to every tremor.
