» allusions to sexual assault
shallow smiles and heart eyes
your fingertips are feathers
brushing against my skin and setting me on fire
your lips are stones
bruising my insides and stoking the flames
your heart is gum
that i take into my mouth
chew until it is merely a remnant of its original beauty
and spit out when i am finishedcough it up like ashes trapped in my lungs
stop it
our mutual hatred is palpable
can't you feel it in our breaths?
can't you hear it in our cries?
can't you taste it in our kisses?your words?
they scorch my skin
nip at my heelsbut don't you know
that the look in your eyes compels me
beyond anything your voice can doi never wanted this
your screams are nothing but sweet nothings to my ears
lost in the breeze that rushes past
flowing behind us like our hairi drink in your tears and your laughter
just as the tide laps at the shore
ebbing, coming, going, in, out, gone, againyour mouth trembles against mine
as the shutter clicks
i can hear the cheers echoing through my mind
and they're asking for morei'm terrified
and when the ride ends
i'm off
legs quivering
adrenaline pumping
hand lingering in yours for just a second
before i disappear from your sight
