bitten
bitten by first touch to see finally what might be made clear, that I stand naked in the sinking rain and let is douse my skin as I traced circles round your callouses and felt your pulse beat against mine in the knowledge that all shall never be and I hold onto my heart and let it drown in the puddles forming round my rain boots and all that can breathe from my lips is, god, I swore I’d never write anything like this

commit
Never could it be more relevant than with the living. The commitment of love and life everlasting is promised, but who can prove? Commit to something painful or purposeful, it requires the same conviction. Commitment is a justification. A continued restatement of fact. Over and over.

belong
what does it mean to belong?
i long to belong to you.
if we belong does that indicate ownership? you cannot have what i haven’t given you.
i’ve given you too much. my heart belongs to you.
that is the most dangerous place for it to be.

want
wanting that goes deeper than you ever thought possible.
so deep it’s cellular.
every part longs for that other part.
you can taste it.
you can imagine it.
but you can never have it.
i want it back. i want you. i want to forget this ever happened.

wish
dance
you invited me to dance. i refused being young and too shy.
for years we’ve danced around that night. the nights preceding it and the nights following it.
finally, four years later i’ve stepped up.
i owe you a dance, a chance, a go around the floor.
take my hand and come with me. step for step we match ourselves.
get lost in the rhythm. look into my eyes and dance. with me.

mellow
mellow me out. drain me of energy. take this fist from around my mind. make me calm. make my heart beat slower. take the raggedness from my breath.
slow it down.

gear
get it into gear, girl. gogogo. there’s only so much time left and you have so much to do. the list keeps getting long and the available time keeps getting shorter. DO IT. go!
time is running out. drivedrivedrive. and maybe you’ll get there someday.

muse
they all used to be my muse. that love. that feeling. but it dissipates and the fever goes away. the writing turns stiff and cold.
this muse. this love. this page or keyboard. it’s never the same when you don’t have a hand to hold.
i miss you.

hover
she hovers in the background and you never really notice. she’s not one of the people you notice. when she speaks, she grates on your nerves. and she does it often.
i wish she would just go back to hovering. i hate having to pretend.
what must it be like to not even be welcome on the inside?

aware
i was aware of you as soon as i saw you. we passed each other and never looked. then i was aware of you being too close. too close. you kissed me. i was aware of nothing but that. your lips on mine. aware of my feet disappearing. aware of the sound of silence. then…then i was aware of love.
