Blah blah blah
Enjoy
In the heat of things there is not much choice

: Just touch me:

Hesitance and a surge of electricity
Removing barriers to skin
-
My mind is not my own, and,
-
I shiver in this,
,
Delicious
Devoured
,
A whisper at the corner of my mouth
,
Promising paradise:

Decadence
Delights

-Keep singing Hallelujah in my navel-

And everything turns  on–
- Straining to reach
Bliss in the drowning
- Simmering whimpers

And we will not come out of this
Unscathed, unchanged tonight

-In the rush we hardly care-

:There is nothing but this;
Nothing but the urgent press
A tremble fighting mental violence
- And a soft caress
:
I would care for you
And I would feel your pain
And I would make it sit, and stay
Wrap my legs around your waist
Kiss torrents across your face
Ignore the consequence as
Troubles wash away with rain
And
Afterwards you ask me
If this has not all been a dream.
This split lip will remind me
If only for a week or so
Why I don’t like romances

that cardboard box full of my books
the suitcase that contains my clothes
will only hold my life
for a few days
while I resettle

And for an unspecified, though finite
amount of time
This record will be
Broken
And repeating
Those last few lines

But years from now I will be wondering
What was it that you said?
And in the wondering I will realise
As I run a thumb over my mouth

It doesn't matter at all.
It's terrifying that songs or poems can be written about you
Someone thought about you so much,
They had to write it down,
You played with their thoughts enough
They sat down and thought about it

— The End —
