Eyelashes batter my salt stained skin,
lips on the back of my neck, remind
me of a time when we laughed together
when our bodies begged to be bound together-
and all there was were your eyes-
your sullen, brown eyes.

Your arms entwined with mine,
your filthy flesh presses against
my unclean thoughts.  Your arms,
asking me to stay,

my body turns away telling
you to leave, wanting to keep
myself and not share it with you
as I have shared everything else.

Reminiscent sentiments burn through-
like your eyes as they burn holes
in the back of my neck, exposing
the question that you ask-

it’s in the answer that you crave.
With the worries that I gave
you, they told the worst of me.
It was hard for you to admit
you were wrong, with
the jealous indiscretions
that have now all but faded
into the background.

Silence, seeking sounds, demands
that this is worth only what it once was.

It’s times like these where silence means everything.

Awake through motion with curiosity to curtain your first move
Over arms length they'll break protocol
Jealous envy for the youngest one

I liked it.  Its the way relationships go in one way or another.  Eventual disgust with each other.  For me anyways.  lol

haha.
I liked this line a lot:
"Silence, seeking sounds, demands
that this is worth only what it once was"
I feel your disgust. *shutter*

Time to publish my man. To refine the refined. Very nice work eor. Very nice.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.
