between the sheets
hunger hanging in the air
you reach for me
as i reach for you
you are the flame and i am the wick
slowly,
we
burn

give it to me*
You said this as you ****** the love out of my bones and put it into another.
You left me hollow; you left me afraid.
I cannot love and I cannot fly.
My heart is too heavy.
I am nothing more than a flightless bird.

I am a shadow and I watch.
I watch you stand with another;
Knowing that you've taken my love and given it to him.
It is my love in his bones.
It is my love holding him down.
It is my love that keeps him from floating away.

I am hollow.
I am without love.
I am a bird with no wings.
