soliloquy

I want to hold you, envelope you in a warm blanket of mush. I want to fill your senses with the heavy fragrance of lavender, the sweetness of a rose, the muskiness of salt beads on my skin. I want to wipe that tear off your face, to tell you that everything's going to be fine. I want to love you, to take care of you, but something holds me back.

You.

You hold me back.
