Your fingerprints
                          My skin

                                     And nothing.


But it ought to feel like everything
So right, so comforting, so whole.
Just one more time.
Close my eyes,
surrender my body.
Brain is screaming so loud in my ears that I fail to notice the silence until I'm stealing back my lifeless form that has been stripped away and replaced with your record tape of 'I love you' that I pin to my shirt and leave on the chair.
For anywhere else,
is just too close.
