How light I felt

i wanna be a map
that you fold
& keep in your pocket
mark me with
"you are here"
on my chest
just a little to the left
take a drive down my veins
you'd be surprised
where my roads could take you
tie your thread
to every inch of my body
that you have ever visited
i wanna wear a sweater
made entirely out of your hands
'X' marks the spot
open me
like a treasure chest
i am not gold inside
no,
but my hidden treasures
are all yours
you are an adventure
i wanna get lost
all over the landscapes
of you
plan a route
that leads you
straight into my sheets
there are cities in the palms of my hands
won't you come
& explore
the vastness
of me.

this floor feels like a raft
& i am a castaway
in an ocean of empty bottles
"don't worry wilson -
i'll do all the paddling"*
wading through the night
looking for morning's land
the soothing, softness of sand
i still feel you,
like phantom limbs
clinging to my hips
like the tide to the beach
like the smoke to my lungs
beer & cigarettes heavy on my breath
dread weighing heavy on my chest
last night,
my fantasy you fell out of love
with my saintly me.
* Cast Away, 2000

drunk mind games
always my fall
out, as I adhere
to their every
call.

they run to
me, when all is
lost, a beautiful lie
they always tell
me.

their love always
hits me, and in force
I fall, and want
more, from them
every time.

months pass, and this
heart moves to another
lover, who she craves
and needs, but they
fall.

past a heart broken
they choose to approach
this lonely soul
mind ****** I sink
unknown.

how can I want more
from broken souls that
only emptied this soul
leaving me left and
alone.

I have found someone
I adore and cry for
leave me be, let me
be, for this is a selfish
lie.

hello
My tea has gone cold
And my skin
is still tingiling with
your scent
but my efforts
To make you stay
Failed
Obviously enough
We don't love each other
but our bodies do

use your body ;
use it to put me to sleep .
the warmth of your breath on my skin ..
i have become a plant , taking in your carbon dioxide and making sugar that forms on my lips .


love is warm , but not as warm as you are ..
your hands are 200 Kelvin ,
and sometimes i have blisters in the morning when i wake up , if you have been there the night before .


love is cold , but not as cold as you are ..
your lips are far below freezing ,
and sometimes i become numb on my chest , and my mouth , and my neck .


love hurts me , but not as much as you do ..
but I have algolognia ,
and that pain transforms into instant pleasure as you bite , and pull , and pinch .
love is gone , but not as gone as you are ..
your heartlines are wearing thin ,
and sometimes i lose the thump thump from behind your rib cage while i am waiting in the dark alone.
