"caught in the symmetry of your mind" whispers, then
walk your hands into me
what a coldness i feel for you
so fearlessly i touched you
so thoughtlessly i spoke to you
loving and living impulsively
just listen, baby.
to a word that hasn't been in my vocabulary since
and now i'm still working on a definition of the word "love"
how can you redefine anything so strongly once felt and since faded
how can you learn again how to move on top of the world
who is it now spilling wine on your bed?
stealing half of your cigarettes and all of your time?
wiping away what is left of your kisses?
who's getting your morning sex before your morning class?
is your body still wet from the shower?
your mouth still stinging from toothpaste?
sometimes i feel a great black wave of you
and how i spent years putting all my thoughts into one feeling
and again
i'm touching the safeness of your back
like breathless bodies on the edge.
