far away from home.

i.
we were never

soul mates.

pressed into your neck and the
shivers,
[the shivers, the goosebumps]...
your hands.
as you would take me so far away,
so many times as the
clock would remind us every hour,
we are losing
[losing a part of ourselves to one
another].

ii.
running rapidly back

to home.

in new jersey, onto your sheets.
the ones
that i have felt beneath my very own feet.
breathing in through
glassy air.
somewhere we are unstable,
unable
[to pick up the pieces].
so far away, the distance is silence
wrapped up
into airy words in which no one
seems to understand.

iii.
etched in stone, the looks that you've

shown me.

vulnerability crossed off all over
our faces,
redemption trampled
on from numerous sorry attempts.
hiding from the mirror;
hiding from the wounds.
somehow breathing under water,
somehow
the innocence still intact;
running around
and around beyond broken hearts.
beyond the
forever,
ever,
ever,
never.

iv.
falling

down

onto rubbery knees.
and i laid myself down
and rode out the tide until the wounds
showed blood.
[a sign of our battle].

your battle.

my battle.

but never ours to begin with.
it was all the
romance propped up inside of us
that we never
bothered to scrap away.
you saved yours within the summer
heat,
but mine.

they are still all that i seem to have

left of who i am.

very cool poem. I am impressed.

I speak insanity. I write fantasy. I sleep reality.
