It’s when you whisper in my ear,
Like I’m something foreign
Wrought by gods long dead

And your arms twine around me, so
Unforgettable
That is when I realize I am not Achilles
For my heart appears to be most vulnerable
… Just for you

I think back to skin-on-skin nights
And how we made love in secret
Everyplace
But then, sometimes you made me wonder,
If it was something that could be done
With no more than a look in your eyes

Tempestuous we have been
Throwing each other away,
And flinging ourselves back into each other’s arms
When the weather gets too cold
And their attitudes seem old

It’s been a lifetime
Or so it seems
Of burying myself,
Locking myself into these little caverns that are you
Somehow I knew there were other ways out,
That there would still be light…
Yet it is enough
To explore your depths in the dark,
With fumbling gestures

Why do I trust that you won’t collapse?
That these tunnels wont cave,
To leave me frightened and alone

Yet an immortal could forever reside within you
And perhaps never find the reasoning
Behind why you chose me

I think this is as freeverse as it gets. I haven't sat down and just wrote how I felt about something without trying to perfect it like this in, well, a while. However, current events in relationships are tempting me to write many types of things- some more interesting then others, to put it lightly.
