Please wait.
I am sorry that you have been orbiting too near for so long.
Destructive me, ambling in darkness, knife under sleeve.
It is not me,
I am swollen now with old unease.
Please wait,
For honey and gravel in mesmerised turns of my hand;
Glistening, then twisting and pushing to leave.
That was not me,
I am foolish, yes, but do not deceive.
Please wait,
I cannot be sorry for the exchanged heat of our bodies,
Which warms then chills me in near-equal measure,
It is mine to keep,
And I will not apologise for your pleasure.
Please wait.
While consoling, cajoling and tempting appraisals,
I have laughed in the watery mouth of your well,
But I'm fragile,
Awaiting cracks in the shell.
Please wait.

This was really nicely done. The one line that bothers me is
I am swollen for now with disease.
I had to read it a couple of times before the word placement caught on. Maybe change it around? Other than that, the descriptive words used are very refreshing and well placed. A great write.

Very sad... I'm not entirely sure what it refers to, but I'm guessing some sort of relationship (but more than friendship). I liked the repetition of 'please wait' - it sounded like begging and made it even sadder.

Omg beautiful i can relate i think i really like this nice vibe, and it flows. Excelent.
I am foolish, yes, but do not deceive
And I will not apologise for your pleasure.
Those are my favorite lines.
