I am acid
Running down your back
Seeping into your ears, your heart
Down your veins.
I stand in wait
Till your bones corrode
Till your breath staggers
Till your eyes close.

Edging to your side
Night falls and I am whirling
Again this feeling

Maybe I’ll forget
One careful twirl at a time
Undo this aching.

Revisiting you
Explaining to my senses
Dancing, I alone.

I am the silence after three doors slamming
I am the shy moon slipping in the light
I am a wet leaf on a sleepy morning
I am jumping jelly, shivering in my skin
I am a chase on a lonely highway
I am a crisp, green apple, tossed in the air
I am dawn's glow, breaking from the shadows
I am a whisper, escaping from their lips

I am your wildest dream, ready to begin.

I'm boiling.
The littlest things flick the switch.
Impatience coursing through my veins,
welting like little bitter bullets
sent straight to the heart. I
swallow them whole
in an awkward embrace.
Mask the fury, the white anger.
The rod is in the trunk of the car.

Madly we keep spinning
Blurring turning burning
You reflect me
and he'll reflect she
We'll regret some
forget the rest
Mimic and repeat a loop of
our misshapen scars
Perfect symmetry
A careful harmony
Till we exist only as we.
And our circle mirror transformation come to be.

The stars line my corridor
But I wave them off into oblivion
Like your name writhing on my tongue
They are made to be forgotten.

We were but are no longer
Fingers laced, the past erased.
The moon cries out at its own rebirth
My eyes refuse to see your worth.

So come let us weep and part
You can learn to mend your twice-broken heart.

Oh you don't even know
You've got a hold on me
Fingertips tracing the lines
on my neck like raindrops
Cooling the afternoon wave
And we both know that
love this is not but still
our hearts they hum and
remind us that they are.
We are nothing and yet we are
Everything.

Oh but you don't even know.
