Naked And True! Poem by Eric Cockrell

i am the sound
of your heart breaking.
i am the key,
the hand on the knob.
i am the whisper
of your soul aching.
the light in your eyes,
your tears as you sob.

you are the last page,
in this book unfinished.
you are the candle,
no one else can light.
you are the flood,
that cant be diminished.
you are the dawn,
in my darkest night.

we are the sound and the echo,
yesterday and tomorrow.
the path that cant be followed,
joy born from deep sorrow.

you live in me,
as i live in you.
captive yet free,
naked and true!
