Careful touches
With whole heart
Bleeding for return
Scattering my worth
Deliver this message
With fingertips searching
Holding too tight
To moments imagined
Light me up
With barest interest
Cracked open
And apart
Blank pages to fill
With a story of us
The line I draw
From me to you
Is short and straight
Your pen scrawls, scratches
And pokes holes
Through paper
He smells of your shampoo
She wears your inviting smirk
His glasses frame your eyes
Her laugh draws crowds
Like you
He walks with your step
She kisses with your lips
His hands hold tight with your love
Her words question me
Like you
He brings me an empty cup
She feeds me from a sieve
His heart is open and hollow
Her love is shallow and waning
Just like you
Together
Hours, days, weeks.
Mine,
I thought.
We leave
Together
And I whisper,
Mine.
Each border
We cross
Alone together
You must be
Mine.
I want you
To stay
And be
And love
And see.
Mine.
Why aren't you
Mine?
Next to me
Knees brush
Your hair
Loose strands
I push back
Warm skin
It's easy
For me
But where are you
I feel
Your breath
You feel
My love
But where are you
Fingers, memories,
I'm tracing perfect nothings.
Come back to me. Please?
The hole in my heart
Only matters if I want
It to stop bleeding.
Different spacing than the first
