babe
i love you
i know that i dont
but i know that i do
the way your fingers
trail down my ribcage
touch so soft
that it shatters my heart
the way your skin
silks against mine
like something exotic
yet so precious
the way my insides shred
at the mere thought of contact
even though its days
and miles away
first it was your hands
that betwixt me
i often thought and craved
daydreamed and hummed
about how they felt
those warm fingers caressing
those firm palms tantalizing
your hands were my salvation
your hands were my undoing
your hands were everything that is good and holy
i fell in love with your hands first
then i fell in love with you
imagine cutting me in half
head to toe
just a clean line straight
from the middle of my forehead
to my inner intersection
i would fall
one side here
the other side there
— that’s how i feel when you leave
cleaved in half by your words and my actions
half of me is a melting puddle
while the other half of me plants seeds
will i water my potential
or will i drown out my possibilities
you told me i was heaven
and then you left
do you not want heaven
or do you just not want me
