"we're soulmates you know."
you wrap your fingers around mine.
but you are a stranger, and this, this is a result of my loneliness and your broken heart.
when you gently trace my cheekbones and jaw you are drawing their face
your ear that is against my bare chest is listening for their heartbeat
the lips that caress mine are searching for home with not avail
eyes are closed, seeing a face that is not my own.
"of course."
i kiss your knuckles.
but tonight i will play along
it will ease the pain in this moment
reality will slap us across the face tomorrow morning
the hurt will wash over to suffocate us once again
but tonight we're soulmates.
