my manic and I.

You are a lake comprised 
of crystal and serenity,
every point stabbing me somewhere
I didn’t think you’d find;

you taught me how water dances
and I find warmth in being near you.

I’d never met you before now-
not in the satisfying way;

I couldn’t entangle you in hugs
but i’d been promised this moment
and my intent
is to indulge it.
