Your scars twist around my arm
your pain pulses in my vain
your desire lingers on my tongue
your being is an echo etched upon my skin.

Bound leg to leg
through life we hobble
everyone around thinking this is a race
they run
but we are immobilized
immortalized with insightful ignorance
we are balanced between the illuminated line of inspired and immature
We Stand Apart
to be
alone
alone and tied together
bound by invisible wire indivisible not matter how far we wonder
wonder the world on a wire
we are together.

Eventually though
you will fade into my skin
nothing but an echoed memory scared on me
and I will be sorrowed
that you could not remain a surfaced.

Your teeth tore through my skin
exposing me
dirtied fleshed
unwashed
you eat me as if I were an apple freshly plucked from its tree
not stumbled upon the ground
You complete me
you are apart of me
forever more I will not lose thee for you have nested within my soul.
