Body's geography
Every scar is known to you
Every limb you've held of mine
Every tear that has talked you've caught
Every darkness that has surrounded me
You've chased away
Every hospital visit
Every birthday party
Every sunrise every sunset
Every sunny day full of sunshine and heat
Every rainy day full of clouds and coldness
My hands you would hold for hours
My legs you would pay while you tell it'll be okay
My heart you've kept safe all this time
You're the only one that knows my body's geography
Space between my fears
My nightmares are not full of darkness
They are full of happy things
But things I could never have
Therefore they are nightmares
I could never have you
And yet I do right now in this moment
I told you everything and anything
You listen and comfort me and hug me as I cry
You know my fears all of them
And you don't laugh at me because they are small fears
You kill the spiders for me and any insects for that matter
You don't laugh at me when you meet my crazy family
You don't laugh at me when I tell you I have to have my blanket
You just love me and that clears all my tears
You are the space between my fears
