when i feel your gaze rest upon me a weight is lifted from my heart and another is placed upon my throat. for when you (who is perfect) and i (who is ******) join eyes like the mixing of mud and water you steal my words and tear out my voice imprison me within your sight and i comply. for it is you (who is perfect) and i (who is ******)
why is it that after all this time it doesn't feel like prison?
