to say that I...

to say that I...

that I miss

that I crave

that I need

YOU

is to say nothing at all,

to say that I...

that I starve to my last nerve

that I perish to dust from thirst

that I ache in places I didn't know that even existed

to say that... oh that's... hmm... is barely touching the surface

I can't even say that my bones only hurt

no

they itch

they scratch

they flame up

FOR YOU

and my skin... it's indescribable

these muscles, this skin, these fingertips

all of that

wants to wrap itself around you

oh love

this heart already beats inside of yours

and this soul

this reckless,

tide stirred and ocean deep

fire-infused soul of mine

is shamelessly tattooed against your fragile collarbone

that collarbone

dripping with honey

salt

and just lightly burned caramel

___________

mmm you are both the mind, and the body high
