Waiting for the Sky to Open

my pen has paced this paper
back and forth
tracing things I’ve said before
back and forth
repeating what I’m afraid to say
yet free to write
I love you, my darkness
I’m addicted to the pleasure
that you float me in
a bubble in the glass of your champagne
a bauble at the hollow of your neck
you’ve touched me, toyed with me
back and forth
and though I know I’m only
another bead on your chain
I can’t pull free
my heartbeat is tied to your whim
my life dependent on your smile
I long to leave but wish to stay
back and forth I’m pacing
penning what I can’t tell you
watching for the sky to open
looking for your arrival
I’m addicted
waiting for my fix to say
I love you
