you feel them on the back of your head they slowly peer down his arm, out his fingertips, to your hips
you feel them, suddenly piercing, like an arrow slowly tearing through each layer of skin, as your lips collide with his soft, so soft, compared to the stabbing on your back
his hands trace along your side and youβre burning you know the eyes can see you pull away, the fire becoming too excruciating you feel the grip that the eyes have around you start to loosen
his hand glides to yours and suddenly the whispers begin little words screamed into your ears little words that are said so softly, but you swear they could make you deaf
his hand feels so heavy, like a rock pulling you to the ocean floor the sinking and the burning and the screaming becomes too much if you hold his hand long enough, youβre sure, you will burst into pieces
