monsters in the moonlight  

 

I don't understand
everything
about
you.

you don't understand
everything
about
me,

and in that,
everything
is understood.

i cannot fix
you.

you cannot
fix me.

and in that, we
will love in the
other the broken
parts each one of
us must bear.

-so-

sit here.

fall into my
arms,

fall into my
heart,

fall into my
being,

and in muted
Victorian
candle-
light,

together we will
dream of:

rain,

raven
feathers,

and

monsters
hiding
in
shadows.
