⊱ ──────ஓ๑♡๑ஓ ────── ⊰

my skin burns,
misplaced feelings rocking and reminding my body
of their thirst to be felt;
my molten heart is all but too weary to feel.

i'm scared to sleep
for this love hits like a psychedelic dream
cursing only the open eyes,
and i stare like my life depends on it.

i breathe
half heartedly, basking in the pain and glory
of him holding me,
pleading the clock to not devour the moments.   

my eyes water
with the love i push and pour through them
leaving tear-stains
of my rabid rues and guilty obsessions.

his voice echoes
like a radio almost tuned to the correct station,
only just aimless-
but the blow never misses to touch me by.

he commands me,
his whispers falling like sordid stardust on my neck
as i tremble;
he commands me to yield, to yield, to yield.

the love burns
my skin, clinging to him in vain with a doomed hope
of respite and reprieve,
with him playing me whimsical, surreal nightmares.

at some point
he puts me to sleep, loosening his grasp on me,
leaving me in a tangle
of unfinished fascinations and a flooded passion.

i dream again
this time of the memories and the past of pain;
they haunt me;
and my weary heart sighs of our unlived lifetimes.
