do not look for me here
i am running
barefoot through the trees
with the scent of soft pine needles
and moonlight on skin
my heart in my hands
wide eyed and free.

you've pulled away
taking all my sanity
and all i can do is wait.
i can still taste
your saliva on my tongue,
the memory burning
through the velvet night.
darkness falls,
my thoughts turn to you
grasping for even
the smallest morsel,
looking for sustenance.

just because he l e f t
      doesn't mean
             you have to stay

your sea storm eyes
set my bones alight
and now i'm left aching
each time the rain
shouts about you.

my love for you
is like craving more oxygen
- essential for life.

in the gentle tangerine light of dawn
we entombed each other
in a mess of unmade bedsheets
and sweat soaked kisses,
foolishly sending
our wishes up to the stars.

let me drink you in
i will gasp for air
just to consume you.
