Falling through
the dark blue,
velvet,
like the
midnight sky
on a
moonless night.

The oppressive heat

of your stare

hits me

through your

sea glass eyes.

A slow burn

creeping through

my core.

You hands sweeping

down my neck

across my collar bone.

Fingers leaving

a trail of fire

in their wake.

Reaching up

gently sweeping

my tongue

up your jawline

gently biting your ear.

Your tongue, your teeth

grazing my neck

to my breasts,

fingers exploring,

nothing left undiscovered.

Opening myself,

taking you in,

all of you.

Moving in sync,

rhythmically,

taking me higher,

the universe explodes.

Collapsing together.

Slick with sweat.

Unloveable
dark then light

Untraceable
the reason, unknown

Starving
for feeling, for touch

Seeking
feverishly, hungrily

Empty
I am.

I will never be beautiful.
I will never belong.

the battlefield is strewn
with the twisted
broken limbs.

Lying on the cold
ground
after the storm

the raw flesh exposed,
gnarled fingers
reaching

toward the steel
gray sky
as if imploring

the heavens
to save
them.

Save them from
rotting away.
