Stay

Intertwined,

two strands of life's weaving

rest loosely,

untied.

I sense my own breathing

while I feel

your heartbeat, awakening

my soul

as it heals,

and my body is shaking -

with what?

Several sentiments, not yet understood,

not by me,

and not by those who really should

understand.

But who am I to expect

the answer

when I can

barely comprehend the question:

do I stay?
