Shared Bodies

So striking, I swear you leveled me with a look,

reminded me of my breathing patterns,

ran your hands through the grease and set fire to my face,

seduced a love to grief and left the same as you came,

we were based on an end,

It's as if everyone always arrives already gone,

some say love is a river and the wetness behind my ears puts out the wick,

some say love is time, I helped you pass,

love is location, we were just circumstance,

could almost smell the must, the urgency

I knew better, I just didn't care,

but I think that I felt more inside you than I would have liked,

you carved me rigid, and I hate you for it

you were everything I wanted at night,

you were a dream, but come light,

I lost what I saw in you,

through those somber windows,

we were addicted to the moon light lines in my old room,

and I couldn't tell us apart.
