There is a darkness that runs along my spine
It is there as I sleep
I feel it as liquid trickling slow against my skin
The hush of the night
Your breath keeps me warm
Yet I remember it
Ever present I wait for it to leave
Knowing it shall not
As I inhale you
It covers me
A reminder that come morning You’ll be gone
No roses by my door
A political kiss
Yet whispered love unleft upon my cheek
What am I now but vulnerable
Available
Chained by my heart as you walk free
The darkness whispers
As I drag along behind your smile
You blink but twice I am a distant memory
I’d cut my heart out for such a luxury
Instead
Your scent permeates my skin
As once again the darkness runs along my spine
I close my eyes
Barricade to tears
^!^
