Trickled into my latest writing

venomous, your face

it's uninvited

a black silhouette against the wall

my hands dry, small

this room has been cleaned

I shift my feet

darting my eyes every other way

Lips soft, you fidget your hands

My laughter echoes, mask me, mask me

Nerves buzz, with you beside me

refuse to invite, disappear

please disappear

temptation drawing you near

Dreams haunted, I can't sleep

You must stay away,

at least 10 ft.
