#unwrapping
I closed my eyes today with nothing within.
I felt the anger burn but I couldn't spill my tears.
I sensed the pressure of what's weighted my heart.
I couldn't tell if I had let it I'm going if I was becoming undone.
I pulled away from all that has happened.
I laid my head to sleep with no one by my side.
It was the usual, that which is life.
I found my self drifting asleep to wake up
To all the noise.
My heart still wondering why all this time
was my path wrapped up in the lies of others.
Sitting up trying to find an answer, I found
Myself untangling my path from their very existences.
Still my tears won't shed for those others.
But I feel the weight lightening upon my shoulders.

Frequently
I imagine
Unwrapping you
slowly (softly) a gift that
I have dreamed of
Feeling your skin again (and again)
I am grasping for moments
(for you)
I want to cement in me the
softness of your (living)
the sharpness of your bones
sweet like sugarcane
below your surface.
I am here to catch
every breath between my
tingling fingers
caramel tongue
slowly unwrapping (me)
Frequently.
