All I need is your skin
Like the clearest water I'll dive right in
I'll drink you like the warmest gin
Just to feel whole again
Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
I watch you come and go like rain
From feeling empty to knowing pain
Take my hand I'm glad you came
For it takes patience
to love my name

his hair,
light against your neck, like a feather.

your lips,
parted and chapped,
haven't been touched in days.

his hands,
pressing sporadically into your skin,
almost morse code for
"i'm going to leave you tonight."

you knew
you knew
you knew,
but it didn't hurt like you thought it would.

after all,
how could you resent something
so beautiful?
how could you regret something
so real?
You actually considered it and for what?
A change of scenery?
Because leaving town means leaving me without having the guts to say it to my face
Because you'd see my heart stop like it did and you'd only get mad at me for it
I've never hated you before but I hate you so much tonight
Part of me wishes you'd still go
You considered it
Dropping your ******* wife like a cigarette **** so you could enter a smoke free building
Don't think I can forgive you for this
Now, tell me you understand
I'll always love you but I can't ******* breathe
I press my lips to you every moment I can
The briefest of love affairs you burn so bright
And then you are gone
Before I can even catch my breath.
