There's one moment in my mind of one lasting encounter... As I remember that time I sat on your counter...
Swept
Sometimes I feel like an undertow has swept me up. Forcibly suffocating, pulling, and dragging me so much farther out than I thought I'd ever be able to go...
Rewind
Five minutes pass
and a hundred moments
run through my mind.
And when I try to hit fast-forward...
I click the damn rewind.
Shower
Why do I leave the shower
looking so puffy and red?
It’s because all I did
was just stand there…
Replaying all the things
I wish I had said.
Kai
Unraveled
Like a loose thread
on your favorite sweater
you unraveled me.
Nonchalantly picking,
pulling, and tugging at me...
Until I was left nothing
but a tangled mess.
Shivers
Whenever I go to somewhere we have been... I get shivers from the memories that stir from within...
Craving
Your rough exterior was so
sharp and sour to me.
Intense and unforgiving.
But as I let you sit on my tongue…
Slowly you melted away into
something so suddenly sweet.
Leaving me with a hunger
and only wanting more.
Fragments
Fragments of myself
have been hovering,
Suspended above me
in my own abyss of isolation.
I’ve been trying so hard
to get ahold of them,
Repeatedly reaching out
in acts of desperation.
But every time I go
to grasp them…
My touch just pushes them
into the wrong direction.
Code Blue
The worst thing
about a code blue…
Is when the doctor finally
throws in the towel…
And you’re left there
looking at an empty body…
Realizing there’s nothing else
anyone can ever do.
