December 28th

I woke up and craved a foreign touch.

Foreign, forbidden, unforgettable.

Blue eyes that cut through diamonds

and the ribs of a skeleton.

Blue and orange and electric shades of fluorescent lights

and accidentally sitting cross-legged and delusional in the passenger seat.

I craved a touch I didn't know and didn't want,

and felt the peculiarity fill me like tar,

and I realized sometimes it's addicting to cut hearts open just to watch them bleed for you.
