Hello. So...

I see you're writing - good -
of love and nicotine in ink
and ****** threads, like vapor
swirling down the sink
of dreams and dying hopes
and burning for a drink
aching lust for perfume
that leaves a ling'ring stink
of epic love and romance
chained with iron link
of standing in a storm
or skating thinnest rink
being on a bridge
or breaking on a brink
bemoan that no one listens
but don't say what you think
a soulful galactic pull, or
stars suicid'ing wink -

tell me how you know so much, poet...
      when you've been here but a blink.
I would sleep but red eyes keep me rigid,
And when I abandon my thoughts, they turn with venomous teeth,
And cracked dreams will creep up on me and I fall,
A never ending, ever mending wound torn open and blood,
Crimson in its exit, stinging, stretching fury.
I cry out and shy away from something better.
Keys jingling, hearts pounding, we meet again at last.
It's taken a while, I thought you hated me, but then we had a blast.
Two nights you spent in my bed, my blankets still smell of you.
Dancing the two step down the road, just us two.
I still can't wrap my mind around what happened, life just felt still.
Nothing moved, just me and you, and it gave me quite a chill.
A chill I can't forget, one we can't deny.
It was just a hook up, and I can't figure out why.
Why me, was I really worth it?
You pulled me on top of you, no hesitation, just pure lust.
Silently we kissed, we touched, and then I just.
I got scared, pulled away, this was the first time for me.
You said not to worry, I was good, just breathe and trust me.
I started to shake, I had never felt this way before.
Part of me thunk, no, I can't be a *****.
Two nights pass and you have to head back home.
A thirteen hour drive, leaving me alone.
I couldn't not be sad, I just had to cry.
I've never had this happen to me, and I'm still wondering why.
I don't want to sleep alone, I just want to cuddle again.
Until that day I get on that long plane,
when we can finally reunite.
I hope sparks fly and time stands still just like it did those nights.
