poison

7 1 0
                                    

hands resting on my side
your arm under my head
never wanting to leave
stuck in our own world

hands touching my skin
my whole body feels like it's wired
head on my heart
you listen

hands holding me in place
i never thought touch would feel like this
like poison it laces

the feeling of your breathing slow
and soft
it's bittersweet and i don't want you to go

all the flowers withered and died
that were placed around our bed
i really made you believe
everything you heard
