she put all her world in this embrace.
she let the weight of him eclipse the world around her.
she wished that all that would remain and matter is this embrace.
That they could just live on this-
the interlocking of bodies fitting in each other's dips and curves
as if they were just one mended piece.
That they wouldn't need to speak
and find themselves arguing at the top of their lungs.
That they wouldn't let go to eat
only to have a day when they couldn't afford to.
That they'd be locked to each other in this embrace
that one of them wouldn't go where the other couldn't.
all she wanted was every breath taken together.
Their warmth driving all the aches away.
Just this. This embrace.
