These mistakes

are managable,

I know,

there could be fewer eyes caught

in downward motion

his eyes

If I only believed in what I say about you.

You know,

I'm making different colours

from the ones I used to,

religiously.

And these new layers

of thick velveteen

make me heavier than I am.

I can stand the excess weight,

always being heavier

than you

but somehow,

I'm drowning my own limbs

suffocating the four chambers

that worked so hard to colour me

with the hint of blush

for every hour you were away.

It's all undone

and theres nothing to sew

whilst internal bleeds

make us deathly pale.

Motionless thinking

has brought me back

to where I stood

and shed the colours of my skin,

instead of you.

I have read your words more than once, and the feel of awe grows with every read.
Truly enticing write, dear poetess.

ya took the metaphor to new heights with this achingly expressive write.

I love you more the further I go ...
