You absorb my heat
With the space you left
Between your fingertips
And my breasts
°
You draw the curtain
To prevent the light from coming through the cool morning air
And as you move away
In a ray of red
The frequency of your words change from,
"I love you"
To
"I own you"
And in that moment you were a star
I'm a distant galaxy.
°
Always putting distance
between us
As if you were afraid
Of clashing with me.
°
Instead you caused me to collapse and now there is nothing where I once was.
