Seeing you again was enough
To put me into a space
A space filled with so much
Electricity
Im sure if our fingers touched a fire
Would burn.
You were quiet and distant
At first
Until I hugged you.
The soft breathing slowly escalated
Against my neck
And your grip tightening ever so
Slightly.
Thr rest of the night
My body felt like a magnet to you
But staying out for now I cannot call
You, mine...
Your laugh so intoxicating
And ever side glance at me
I caught
Or simply just enjoying the night
I was happy.
Happy to see you...
Be near you...
Desperate to hear you tell me
"I still love you"
Over and over again
Even if its just a hug
Seeing you leave felt like a bandaid
And thankfully you noticed
And instead of a goodbye
"See you soon"
Was the last words you spoke
Relief filled my chest
But tiny holes still made in my heart
That pounded against my ribs
The cracking sound masked
Underneath your breathing
As we hugged our goodbyes.
Then I, slipping past the gate
And finding myself emptying my
Unspoken desires into a red solo cup
Mixing its contents with
My misery and guilt
Washing it down with a pepsi
And cherry vodka
The bittersweet tragedy
Filling my chest temporarily
With its warm hands
Happiness...

Poems: Gade 12- Present Day
PoetryFrom another guy in the world, to you. Words that aren't spoken, but remain true. I hope you find comfort in my poetry too. A rusted connection to my reality, because honestly. I've lost it.
