[E] Promised
Years ago. So many it seems now I heard you say my name. You woke me with a whisper. You woke in me a hunger. Confusion fed me, but you came to me again. You spoke with me without words. You took from me what I would not think to give in waking. I belong to you, you said. I hated you for your words. Rebelled. I hated you for the hunger. I belong to you, you said. Only you.
Years from then, and now I feel an aching, longing, need. You speak with me no more. Yet your words proved true. I could never give to another what I wish I could give to you.
I belong to you, I said. A whisper to the darkness as I lie to sleep. To dream.
