The sweaty tendrils are yet to dry and slide
from their gripping torture upon raised hairs
you are fresh in mind, deep in thought
we lay in love~made yellow, didn't we?

Teetering stalks of flowers you would buy
if only I hadn't thought of it first
I can taste the remorse, mind you,
like pollen, pulsating across the miles

I would try to drink it
but I am full.

And I know you're sitting still, with thoughts
that only race you from limb to lesion
wondering where to strike, I cut deepest don't I?
Further than the angry red that itches you in the night
that never quite fades to white,


As love affairs go, you were not my finest
weaving patterns for me to follow

As love affairs go
I lose another to pity and triumphant anger
that you spilt~all over me
dazzling me awake, from rapid dreams.

This reminds me of a conversation I had with a guy once about "numbers".  Wish I could share it in here..

  I miss you when you are gone.
