[untitled, currently]

Tonight, I’m going to drown in the sound of your voice:
a claustrophobia,
a sensuous enclosure.
I will slip back into you
as if I have never been away.

You never change.

You are stoic and metal. But your eyes are vulnerable and plastic.
They are the only bit of you which changes.

God. I know you hate clichés.
God. You are a cliché.

-

You hung cloth across my mirror.
Make your face naked.
Strip your mind naked.
I can’t.

-

I am starved and curveless.
She has learned her lesson.

I have not learned mine.

-

Last night,
I swam.

You kept me afloat
when all I wanted
was to drown.

Author notes

sigh.
i should stop,
but i
don't want to
letgo.

    powerful..

    I absolutly loved the passion in this. This is nothing but heart. It's not a full blown, top of the charts deal.... but thank you for entering it. It has so much meaning, I can't help but read over it again and again..
