Keep me

Talk to me about sadness

I want to tell you 

But i ask you 

To fill space 

Fill me with you 

For soon i will 

Go, More words to suspend

Speak so i can swim 

In the low light cavern of your mind

In the riptide of your tongue 

Without hearing

Only seeing your shape shifting mouth

I am no longer leaving

I am staying

I am staying 

Here 

With you 

As your tongue spins time like a bobbin 

I rest

In the aimless needle 

Knowing my spot on the quilt

Comfort in seeing my trace

My thread 

Threads parallel to yours

in this moment 

We are infinite 

Entangled

Least i have something to remind me

Something to keep you close

I want to tell you

What? 

scared of my own feelings

When i cant find their cowardly bodies

I let you keep talking 

And you do, you keep us here, you keep me

close to the hearth in your heart

Until 

Its done 

Im walking away 

And You're walking away

I don't look but i assume you are

Threads leaving the quilt just as they pierced it

undone

through the blurry windshield of my pupils 

Wind peeling the drops from my eyes 

As i peddle away 

Away from the end

Away from leaving 

Away from death 

Away from myself 

Away from 

You

Talk to me about sadness

So at least i'll know what to expect when i leave you

Will you do me that favour?
