In the beginning
I was a void
but now
you have become
the light
allowing me
to find my
missing parts
(and car keys)
now I want so badly
to recite to you
our future
from memory and
I know that if
I lean into you
and try very hard
and lie a little
to my heart
and your ears
it could sound
like The Bible
(minus miracles)
with the part before you
fat with floods
and famine
and the part since
full of hope
and belief
while skipping over
the final chapter
in an attempt
to avoid
the rapture
