BODY
naked series part 2
I had to take several deep breaths as I
detached my emotions from myself
I wanted to leave my body
I wanted to unravel from this bare existence
that left me feening for more of you
like an addicted, lost , without a way
My lungs constricted of air
as I wanted to scream and shout
as my airways become tighter
it all just becomes harder to bare
my hands wanting to strike , blow after blow
my feet wanting to release the tension of this demeaning grip
of the ground
so I can kick , harder , harder
but they fell so limp , weak
grasping , nothing
my heart is numb and fragile
connected by fragments
hardly surviving , the continuous beatdowns
My body I have failed
My body wants to want you
I know I don’t need you
Skin wants to wrap around you rough jagged edges , and smooth its way around
Soothing your aches , nourishing your every discomfort
Agonizing over the past few deep breaths
Having to take it all in
And do it all over again
skin , I beg that you catch my tears
absorb them in close , as they're are many that shall fall
As my backbone begins to take in all
