Misconception
Misconception
Dear Laura,
Do you know that night when you stayed with me?
When we had time to reach for each other,
without the urgency of the clock?
That night-
I drank your breath
I held you while my passion swallowed yours
You thought I was inside you, oh no-
I pulled you deep inside my core. While our skin burned
I was throwing away my heart, my bones,
I was throwing away my brains, dissolving my tissue.
I was flushing my blood to the floor.
Ripping away my muscles.
Becoming an open shell.
Then-
I cradled you inside of me.
I filled myself with you..
How else could I get you so close?
How else could I have gotten so close?
I put your heart in place of mine.
I stole your being.
And you thought we were just making love.
