the transitory nature of
your touch
disconcerting emotions sustained
by memories that stick like dust
i can’t get enough of this-
whatever ‘this’ is
my mind harps on about
your warmth, presence, and kiss
your broken hands grasp mine,
my poisoned lips touch yours;
nothing more than a sad race
to see who succumbs first
to the secret silencing both of us:
subdued, i bite my tongue
‘love’s’ just a synonym for ‘guilt’
and guilt’s the only race that i have won.
i wrote this a while ago but realized that i never posted it here
..im proud of this one
