“Body,”

I plead.

“Create.”

“No,”

Came her reply.

“Body,”

I plead.

“Stay.”

“Why?”

She asked me.

“Though I forsake you

I tremble at the thought of losing you

Do not leave me alone.”

“Prove it.

Make me see it with my eyes

And hear it with my ears.”

I sigh

Like the stars do at sunrise.

“Body,

You dance more wonderfully than grass in the wind

Your song is more spectacular than fractured light

Only you could fit me within your skin

But most of all

You were the only one

Brave enough

To love me

“Fine,”

Body smiles.

“I will do as you ask,

But nothing more.”

I sigh

Like the stars do at sunset.
