You can't stay here anymore.

The words become a pattern,
a reluctantly whispered hymn
that is too foreign to me.

All I can hear is the calm thunder within,
my ear pressed tight to your bare breast,
you once asked why I do this,
wanted to know exactly what I hear
in those countless dark rivers rushing beneath,
I've been listening for hours or years.

I can't tell anymore.

I can't tell anyone.

You can't stay here anymore.

I won't ask you why this time,
I'm still tracing your warm palm,
where our hands were locked together,
now open just like the deepest parts
of you have always been to me.

And although it's impossible to tell
here in the warm cocoon of your bed,
I've always seen much more through touch
and if I follow those natural indents and ridges,
those marks seem to contain some vague map,
some scintilla of identical lifelines.

You can't stay here anymore.

The words fled without ceremony,
and I was still lost in braided limbs,
the exquisite stillness of your lips 
parted to say my name in ways no one can.

All I can hear is the longing in you,
how the softest words can easily betray
what our bodies say and what the soul craves,
you once asked why I stay so still afterwards,
wanted to know what exactly I hear
in that beautiful cadence as we lie in the dark.

I've been listening since the beginning,
or maybe at the end where I play back
all that was said and what should've been given.

I can't tell anymore.

I can't tell anyone.

You can't stay here anymore.

I won't ask you why this time,
I'm still lost in this undeniable pull,
the drift inside you where I was claimed
and left a piece of myself with you forever,
the deepest reaches parted just for me.

And although it's impossible to tell
where you and I began or came to an end,
light is suddenly flickering upon the vaguest border,
and you'll remain with me throughout the entire day,
waiting for me to return to the only home I know.

But I can't stay here anymore.
