For Sadie

This sits inside of me

Every time I touch your skin

I feel the weight of everything I’ve ever known

Sit heavy on my soul

And your mouth

Is the place I want to live

Tucked between your bottom lip

Just where your voice falls

You are where my heart resides

I will love you

Until the moment

My breath leaves me

Until the day

Our maps no longer read the truth

Until the second

The hand on the clock

Reaches for the final stretch
