Skin

The sight of her scatters my thoughts and
She crawls back into the warmth
Her touch is attached to something new
Held down by her form

Has it been so long?

We met when we were just children
The shadows of that world in your eyes
I stayed with you every day as we watched
The fields and the autumn sky

My heart feels like it's failing
As her lips find my throat in the dark
She reaches down and my body shakes
It feels like
And then
She breaks the skin
[Distorted]
Feelings I can't name

The memory of our lives together
Burns through my paralyzed haze
The wordless pleasure of this moment
Your teeth as they open the vein
Do you remember the innocence we
Shared on those autumn days?
We sat together and talked for hours
About the day that we'd escape
