guns in the dark
white hot
sheen of sweat
every notch and curve warm to the touch of
an inexperienced hand
never thought i could handle something like this
not so complicated once you get past the
fear of blowing a hole in your own heart
you were danger that i saw too well in the
dark that smelled so strong of you
smoking and feeling no time
and i wondered when the clothes slipped off
if your feelings would go so easily...
and then i felt nothing but you
laced in your veins like blood and sugar
no way i can tell you how you felt under my fingertips
alabaster curved up to my touch
your mouth like rain on burning skin
the softest wet i could imagine
and some i couldn't
this length of spun sweet beside me behind me above me
entangled and then quietly
slipping hands between us
searching out the bullet holes
fumbling for the slick gaps in my memory
where the things that hurt me had been shot to hell
grinning in the dark, a sigh of sore relief
smiling because you don’t turn away
covering my heart with a hand as i fall asleep
knowing it's already gone...
*For Chris..thank you. *note: Yeah, thanks for leaving, you bastard.
