inverted
he loves me in white cotton briefs.
his fingers fidget methodically on my hip.
i know behind his closed eyes
it/s porcelain of a different kind
beneath his hands.
i can hear the melody.
you will never love me like i love you, i think.
i know you don/t mind when i slip between your sheets
your emotions displaced
for lack of sleep.
but then you hold me like you do
and i lose control.
sometimes i forget that this is real. i forget that flesh & blood have meaning & that the sun rises because it sets. i asked god to let me dictate, but transcription seems inextricably tied to the divine.
i won/t lose you. i won/t let you lose me. let/s lose ourselves loosely under ocean skies.
you paralyze me. & im no longer afraid of losing control. i painted your face with watercolours & hung it on the wall to dry. & as the lines crossed & blurred & the colours muddied i saw for the first time who you really are.
i felt beautiful today.
