Opal and Crimson

It's another poem to my boyfriend

A single tear can hold so much power
A single laugh can hold a heart

A single heart can hold a thought
And a single thought can hold a world.

But can that world spin
And rotate
Without you?

Would life keep breathing?

Or would it all stop?

Would the heart stop pumping the crimson
And the tears fall flat and colorless

But with you
Is it any better?

Is the blood a deep crimson?
Are the tears opal?

A single tear holds all the power
A single thought can hold your life

A single life is never single
Not when you’re there.

When that laugh fills the air
The crimson starts to flow

The opal only falls
Because the laugh rings true.
