this is for the silence that speaks in our stead for the darkness breached from my gaze to yours for the taste of your hair in my hands and for the breath that doesn’t know who it belongs to
this is for the night falling like autumn leaves and the morning rising bare-limbed and beautiful
this is for that first conversation when you put a defibrillator to my chest without ever yelling clear! I swear it was all I could do to keep my knees from folding to the floor when you looked at me like a shot of morphine and spoke that sweet Siren song
girl I jumped in knowing I couldn’t swim hoping the current would carry me closer but instead it whirlpooled me into you and I’ve been **** dizzy ever since so its no wonder a night never dies without me in your thighs and you’re always gone before the sun rises
and I’m left to clean up this mess in my chest and pack up these bones for when you need them again.
