so i write poetry
heres my most recent
full title:
Its funny how words have so many meanings"
slowly i peel the clothing from my body
with my clammy,
trembling
hand
turns the water on
as quivering lips breath
in the steam
i stand there
stripped
of feeling
letting the water envelope me
from head to toe
like the things you said to
me
slowly increasing its
temperature,
scouring
my skin
in scalding water
trying to get you
off of me
trying to wash your affection from my
cheeks
where you left it
when you tasted my tears
the night before
trying so hard to make my
lips separate from yours
for what
seemed
like forever
to get the taste of you off my tongue
trying to erase the images
of you and i and those late nights
spent on the couch and
saying goodbye
at your car
trembling
in pain
trying to heal
the hole in my
ear
-it’s funny
the way it mirrors
the one in my heart...
ironic how the one i wanted
can heal
and the one i had no choice
is going to be
here for awhile
is it the passion in
your kiss that makes me miss you?
or the words from those lips
that makes me want to kiss you?
trying to get use to the
negative
space
in which
you use to
lie
