Sweet

Sweet, the whispered caresses of voices and hands

Sweet.

The tears, mist in the breeze

Marks, rivers, passion, and rain

Sweet, touches turned to grasps

Aching

The broken silence. Promise. Skin.

Broken

Reaching up, out, inside

Lost, lost and reaching

Lips, promises and biting words.

Broken, shattered inside, on the floor

Cracked

Walls and knuckles and screams reaching

Reaching and finding and pulling back in

Touch, sweet and filled with lies.

Sweet
