Crawling Out From Under You

Description: This piece deals with lies and deception...really....I am actually quite serious here. You are twenty years older than me, yet so captivating, but yesterday is too close and tomorrow... full of regret, as I am caught between your deception and the warmth between your thighs. You know that I am a creature of the wind... Wild. Tame. Free. But honest. Your playground is a battlefield where you conquer...defeat...destroy self-respect with shattered glass and discontent. I say goodbye with a straight face, although I feel as a ghost; no one will know about the gashes that will long remain on my spine, or the muddy secrets concealed within the lines of my hand. My black eyes silently scream from your indifference, especially when I lie in bed at night... alone. After all, if you don't want me; then, please... stop climbing on top of me.
