Space

I told him
I don't feel worthy
I let my heart drip like wax
under the heat of my shame

I told him
I don't know
what it feels like
to be enough
I let my heart bleed
like my tears fell

The tenderness in his eyes
heartbreaking
So lost in me
I couldn't see his truth
then he spoke

The distance between us
the way the wind blows
the way you can smell the earth
when it rains

From moonlight
to twinkling stars
Atoms and galaxies
You are the darkness
that holds them together
the openness between them

You are all that I am
You make me possible
you are space to me
the very air I breathe
if that is not worthy
if that is not enough
then nothing is
