Like an animal

by @simpleton

What's wrong My love Why do your eyes Avert mine Your hands crawl away from my fingertips Your torso turns and leaves me behind Your words They drip between us But I can't find the puddle It feels like I am alone underwater Ears filled with white noise Your body lays next to me like an animal Like I am wearing a dying loves dress Like you're already living in the imagination Of a dead loves future Except it's not you in distress My ache for you hits me Like lightening striking a stream Like bars Wounding the water creating Deep glugs as it drains cold inside of me I'm the one who whines like an animal Pines after you Going crazy whilst I hide Terrified to face the truth Buried under the tide
