you're all soft lines
and blurry edges:
like the moments between each
rise and fall of our chests
while your lips entwine mine
with every breath.
you're all droppy eyes
and silent screams:
looking behind you
everytime you leave,
keeping doors locked
and your teeth flossed.
never letting a single thing
escape your mind that you've lost.
you're all languishing stares
and rough hands -
you've kept mine clean,
laced yours around mine
and promised forever this time.

never letting a single thing
escape your mind that you've lost.
you're all languishing stares
and rough hands -
you've kept mine clean,
laced yours around mine
and promised forever this time.
