Leave Me Alone

Leave Me Alone

And with every 
twitch I can 
conjure your 
posture in the
corner.
The space
between your 
height and 
the floor
I lie on. 
Twisting into
the carpet.

Rain hurts but bleeds my dreams of your shoulder under my chin. Pressure, holding fabric between your
hands. I would stick my fist down my throat to hear you say it again.

Taking sips in the morning to
feel your arm rested on mine in 
green and blue and purple.
Your steps ahead choke, your 
gaps in retention. 

And for 
that I am 
empty.
I am shallow. 
Promises I make
to my pillow 
go unfollowed
and your position 
will be found in
every faceless 
body on the street.
