you ask unceasingly
for the warm crimson beating
hands outstretched
waiting
i keep him intertwined
with my comparative mind
unable
to go
he received everything
in return, promised a ring
i kept
in haste
you desire little
make loving truly simple
timid
i shake
he's but a memory
of failure and treachery
you are
neither
what keeps me breathing is
no longer considered his
i rip
it clean

you have cracked yourself open
like a shell-less egg
shown me the etched scars
on your tender flesh
unlocked your closet
revealed skeletons
unveiled completely
so tenderness could hold
-
i have been running water
soft and soothing to the touch
intent on mending the wounds
focused on bathing your cuts
strong enough to wash away
delicate enough to cleanse
a salve of healing and honey

don't unzip my skirt
if it's merely for my sake
be honest with me

tuck me under his salty seas -
a blanket tidal wave
let me wash upon his fleshly beach
to venture and misbehave
pull me just below his surface -
his mirrored tide pools
to submerge into his inky trenches
and lead me to the vestibule
guide me along his furrow -
his scars and phantom pains
then let him create in me his burrow -
his tender hiding place

come as you are
flesh: scarred
pure tenderness
skin charred,
adrenaline
let down your guard
tongue tied
isolation
justified
stagnation
for your eyes only
difficult
vulnerability
reciprocal
fragility

picturesque scene
toothy grin
caught in a dream
highly addictive sin
please pull me in
hands on hips
warm breath and skin
the moon and its eclipse
a hand to hold
chilling breeze
my heart to mold
both minds at ease

i've lined his sheets with
"tell me more"
"please don't go"
"lock the door"
and "pull me closer"
we've sewn
phrases, unintelligible noises, and whispers
into the mattress
one great cross-stitch
spread across the box spring
he's etched my skin with
"take your time"
"can i stay?"
"that doesn't rhyme"
and November Gray
we've read
excerpts, classics, and unfinished plots
among the sheets
words: a vehicle
to take us anywhere

i'm five years younger in his presence
all tenderness and muffled sound
ten feet taller standing near him
pure confidence and mischief
he's adrenaline
a therapeutic freefall
pure heroine
i'm romantic and hopeless
a breezy summer evening
a soft caress

squawks in air ducts
***** and rustled wings
talons on rafters
screams of shock
a basement door locked
music playing
to inject ignorance

tiptoe around
be gentle with me
abnormal sound:
whispering unforcefully
handle with care
only skin and bones
percieved snare
is merely tender prone
**** me softly -
fingertip caress
turning fondly
to your saintly silhouette
