one;
you stand behind me.
fingers snaking across my waist.
mouth hovering over my ear lobe.
you whisper and my bones collide with galaxies and it kinda hurts but that's only an afterthought.
two;
you strike me and i taste steel.
i taste damnation and regret and something else that aches like love but i pull it from my sodden chest and fling it into the abyss.
no. not love. never.
i don't forget to strike back.
three;
your fingers are in my hair.
and i can hear your heart beating in your chest.
your legs tangle with mine, seeking and comforting.
your skin is warm warm warm and your smile is soft soft soft.
your careless fingers trace the contours of my shredded soul.
four:
your tears streak down my neck.
your sobs rattle my collarbone.
i am holding you in awe.
and you cling harder to me.
pain and pain leak from you, rolling from your skin in familiar waves.
but i weather the choppy familiar waves.
you say you'll never leave me.
five;
oh wow fuck you do
