slicing gently

I'll block the world out
Plug into any electronic outlet
for a black-out inlet to silence

from myself
from the outside

can't squeeze the last drop
it doesn't do it anymore
not the same kind of feeling

that first drag
that last sad cry

sitting only makes me wilder
eyes dart from side to side
heart wide open and still tearing

weak from strain
weak from staying

only stopping to keep count
like my days are numbered
dyslexia can be a good thing sometimes

mistakes

glass never tasted so good
smooth on my lips
containing nothing but solace

please don't tease me

I'll wrap my tongue around you
just to taste your edge and fantasize
take you dancing circles on my skin

together we could pop the cork
drink bitter wine
bleeding from where my breath has been

holding

grit my teeth and grin
another night to tie me over
gums aching

one of these days
we'll make love again
drip with the sweetness of my sins.
