picture you and I intertwined
picture you and I fusing at the seams
picture you and I consuming one another
picture something better
move on
nothing but faint memories
gasps
sighs
out loud
your fingertips were the worse thing to ever happen to me
they were
oh, they were
love me
paralyze me
you’ve snapped my spine
in more places than you ever known
left me immobile
stricken
stuck
