I love you this much
Enough to let the sun split
Its molten script
And spill a burning hymn
Across your fingertips
A flare so bright
It teaches daylight
How to worship you
I love you this much
A vow carved in the throat
Of a thunderbolt
A pulse that wrote
Its name in smoke
On the ribs of the sky
Just to say
I’m yours
I love you this much
Past the ache of old hours
Past the ruin of towers
Built by hands
That never knew
How love flowers
In the cracks
Of what breaks
I love you this much
Wide as the wings
Of a god waking up
A hush that sings
From the deep black cup
Of the universe
Where stars erupt
Just to prove
Your gravity
I love you this much
A reach that bends fate
A fire that won’t wait
A truth that walks straight
Into the dark
And makes it translate
Its shadows
Into light
I love you this much
So if you asked how far
I’d point past the star
That outshines every scar
We’ve carried so far
And say
Love goes beyond
What maps can chart
Beyond the end
Of the end
Beyond the last beat
Of the last heart
And I’m still reaching
