Can I Be Real, As You Are To Me? Poem by Medusa Waves

Can I be real, as you are to me?
How I long to feel what lies dormant beneath this chest of mine
Nothing—is so vacant; a sound has more depth than my eyes
Your sighs are earthquakes that quiver my lips
Come closer, you demand
And I, your faithful slave, approach with an emptiness like the day.
I’m not here, I’m not real, I’m living as visible as the words are in air
But with you…
I feel the familiar sensation of love
Its warmth runs my blood and moves my heart
And I exist
