'pleasure'

Your sweet lips dare to graze mine
Your cheshire smile, inviting at times
I lose your eyes when you turn your back
And walk away

Does it pleasure you to hear me breathing
Faster then I did before?

Your eyes, your hair, those hands
Are all blindly familiar
Scream louder - maybe I can
Hear you clearer this time

Does it pleasure you to see me
Wincing on this cold, hard floor?

Hold my hand
Fingers interlocked with yours
No, don't stop
Run away faster, please

Does it pleasure you to leave me here
Alone with no one to care for me?

You've beaten me down
You've broken me more than once
Do it again
I dare you

Does it pleasure you to have me beat you
At your own flawless game?

this moment is forever preserved in my mind as a final chance to embrace the future. i watched you fall asleep and a part of me crawled inside you to remain hidden and loved and alive. when we touched, it was often and simple and right and your laughing eyes and soft smell overcame me, until i was a part of you. my fingers touched your hair, your hands, your lips, your feet, the small of your back and the nape of your neck allowing time to stop. everything i felt was you, and all that you cared to know was me. until, then the darkness broke into morning and we broke into two pieces again. i watched you stir, and awaken knowing that as always, we would pretend we had forgotten what it felt like to be together what it felt like to connect, and not be alone when death and tomorrow were both far, far away and life was today; here and now and me and you. in this moment, my body aches for yours in a way that is sad and lonely and wistful i remember how it felt to belong inside of you where only your heartbeat rang true and all that was painful to me had disappeared leaving only our warm bodies and clammy hands quick glances and darting eyes loud laughter and comfortable movements but most of all the way you would say my name, fondly, as if you knew exactly what it was i needed. as if you knew that tomorrow and the next day held another touch to push me back inside of sanity.
