Feel, love

I can already see your face
falling from your usual startled ideals.
I should be feeling triumph,
or guilt, just anything at all,
but if you’d look closer-
come closer, love, I wouldn’t know you-
you’d see the way I’ve been going numb.

It’s been a while since you’ve noticed,
but I’ve found that a love built
simply for the sake of feeling-
a fire lit only so we can watch it burn
yields nothing but enough smoke to choke us.

Breathe again, love, the air isn’t mine
maybe seeing you draw life in
will jump start my heart; pain-
with the pain I should be feeling
for you, but really for me.

Pull my heart from me, love
set it on fire; it doesn’t want to burn
and I’m still choking-
I wanted to breathe from you, love,
I wanted to feel.

Come closer, love, you wouldn’t know me
I can already see your face.
let me see you, let me use you
put out the fire to feel the cold-
I want you to feel, I wanted to feel-
Wish I could stay, love,
wish I could stay.


...it's always sudden...
