I am here
beneath your skin
waiting for my heart to beat,
drunk on words
spun by your fingers;
deadly, dark and sweet.
The light that pounds
away the sun,
it flickers from my screens,
And I am lost
And I am found
And I am in between
There is no cure for electric heroin,
No placebo for your words,
and I am trapped in tangled thoughts,
Embraced in tangled cords.
In the darkness, I see stars
Voices echo in my brain
Laughter built of 1s and 0s
And need like freighter trains
And in the spaces that I’ve made
Between my world and yours
A howling grows from clacking keys
and doors, and doors, and doors.
Sun
Sky
Earth
Rain
Sweat
Sweet
Laughter
Drip
From
Fingertips
And yet…
And yet.
I’d trade it all.
To be the word upon your lips.
