Distance by miles pales in comparison to the estrangement of our hearts. You can penetrate me through signals and fine reception. Desire takes the shape of a spear which obeys the riptides as they pull back and then rush forth. If it's possible for sweat to make a sound I think I heard it break as you came. I didn't, but my legs still open by instinct. I sever my commitment to love but all my body, bones, blood and brain are betrothed. I've tried to leave, preferring to lay with the deceased, even though I know I too have caused you pain. I starved because inside I am a cannibal whore in withdrawl from my own gluttonous feasts. It amazes me how easily I can now release you from myself and adapt in such a way that I am no longer very aware of the inhumanness of it all. You freely demonstrate a newfound persistence I can't seem to find faith in but I do find such comfort in the familiar sound of your voice and wet-air kisses. I have power only because I have made you an addict, and yes, I know I am one too.
