"The Note From Which A Chord Is Built"

You have always seen the best part of me

With my uncovered eyes
loose from lenses, absorbing light.
Your hand is wrapped in mine,
the sun set for the last time.

Carpet stains from coffee cups
thrown to stop from hurting so much
Paralyzed I thought I'd fail
you somehow, and let you down
but you saved me from death

Awake and unharmed, for the first time.
Joining as voices sing, together...
the same song
