My eternal lover

locked in your embrace
every moment
every breath
together
we walk






you
my lover
that waits to strike me
to betray me
to consume me
at any moment
and have done so
forever

and yet
i cannot let you go
for
i am
because you are
i breathe
because you allow me to
i do
because
the fear of you
provokes me to

i am alive
because I feel your embrace

yet
like a cobra
one day u will strike me
though i dance with joy
in the thought
that you will
but have not

for every moment
that you are faithful
is a moment
blessed upon me
by your presence


and when your final embrace
does come
we will rest together
in eternity

till then
walk with me
show me
how to live every moment
joyfully
by reminding me
every moment
that you will strike

and then, my spirit
will finally
be released
from your embrace

but will you
before that
let me see who you really are
will you reveal your dark secrets
my eternal lover ?
