listening to the dreaming

You leaned in close as if you were trying to hear the song I told you I couldn't get out of my head. But suddenly all I could hear is your silence, and it is so deep and so sweet and so clear, I can still hear it now if I listen.

Life's betrayal

breathing sleeping dreaming in

my body breaking 

sorry

for all the mess

the sounds and the smells too close to be my own anymore

desire itself

of and for being 

here and there 

and everywhere

as you kiss me 

and my skull caves in.
