Auction it off
To the lowest bidder
Your heart
Still warm from my cautious embrace
Mine
Freshly ripped from my chest
I’ll stand at a distance
Wishing I had more
Than my everything
Cassie Nov 2019
All I want to do is kiss him
But he doesn’t sleep well
So I guess I’ll wait
I’ll lie here envying the air visiting his lungs
Making sounds of polite shutters on a slightly breezy day
Cassie Nov 2019
When I listen to this man
I envision a house
A house loved, lived, strong
The gentle breeze entering through spacey windows
Encouraging reflections embraced
The shades failure to with hold the sun in its weakened hours
Cassie Nov 2019
My health is in question
everythings in the air
when everything comes at a price
And I don’t know what to do
At least my days begin and end with you
Cassie Nov 2019
My past has left wounds
not yet scars
Rooms filled with desire
Just to be wanted
No one else can feel the suffocating pressure
Their world is unknown to me
The mysterious and haunting sense of belonging
Alone. In a crowded room.
Cassie Nov 2019
Im hurting in deep dark crevices
Their voices at varied volumes.
I scream stop. Please stop
Sometimes until I fall asleep.
They sparingly listen when I angrily tell them to shut up
They throb as reminders force their way into my head
I’m ok.
I’m ok when they stop.
I’m ok when I’m with you.
I’m scared of the moments I’m left alone
Your voice speaks louder
You remind them I am loved
But beneath you they continue to whisper
Reminding me of what limitations that have been set on me.
Who and when I cannot love
Setting timers and dates
Taunting Expirations
You unknowingly have joined them
Reinforcing how long I can love you
I’m silently screaming
Trying to make my voice louder
Remind you that I love you
Stop. Please stop.
I’m ok when I’m with you
Cassie Nov 2019
I place my hand on your head
And I grow numb
I move myself along your body
You disappear
Gone before I can ever truly lose you
