Red Ink

And a book full of gold

You read the pain in my eyes
Like an open book
Fluttering open.

It leaped from the page
Right into
Your soul.

My scars bold,
My stories told;
Ink jumping from my eyes to yours.

I stared in awe
Of the dexterity and skill
With which you understood me.

Slowly,
I realized
Only you read me.

And I could run right now
From each hill we built,
But I’ll choose to stay

Right
Here
With you.
