Lauren Lessard

A deep, blue lake sits within me.
Its infinite quiet cradles me,
its coolness soothing all
that stirs within my heart.

I’m not scared of this dark.
Its silence is a soft melody,
singing my heartbeat back to me.
I can dance in this place,
but there’s room for one more.

Do you care to see
this world between my ribs?
I choose you, if you’re willing.
I can show you the way
with whispered words and a cool touch.
Will you have me?
Will you stay?
I want you to love it,
love me,
because my deep blue infinity
speaks to yours.

If you say yes,
you’ll always have a home here,
tucked between my breasts.
