Victoria C Dec 2015
you left one night
fingerprints on my
bones and eyelashes
flaked on my bed sheets
come home soon
Victoria C Dec 2015
Ragged breathing and liquid eyes you kissed me and I created
a thunderstorm and you gave me an umbrella.
You carried my thoughts gently and pulled back my hair and touched me with
delicate fingers that I wanted to hold forever.
"please don't ever let me go" I recited repeatedly in my head.
and you listened, heard me loud and clear with our limbs entwined.
I wanted to stay embraced like this for as long as possible
but nothing lasts forever and I am a fool and you are bright
and a whole world away.
why couldn't we stay, in that little piece of peace.
with sheets of hair and skin sun-kissed and heated and to feel
another persons body around yours, to feel their every move and
twitch and to hear their heart beat through their caged insides
gives so much comfort and release
and in that moment I knew
id given too much.
