God placed his finger
across my lips
asking me to hush my thoughts
that swell with lust for you;
and it falls
like glass around my soul
where it remains
broken
for fear of the hurt when trying to put the pieces back
and I'm tired now
of cutting my heart against the want of you
bleeding into your room
long enough to die
in another ink drop of obsession
where you write me
away from your life...

Wow.
You definitely moved my insides,
you turned them up,down,sideways
everyway because I felt this to
be very personal..not to you
but to me.
Thanks for the entry

Wow, very powerful write. I felt the pain in this. 'for fear of the hurt when trying to put the pieces back' is my favourite line.
