Your Heart Does Not Belong to Me

as if to drain marrow from the bone
i’m separating event and emotion
tampering this seal that pressed
between our parts and paths
careening into uncrossed waters
penetrating, desecrating, coagulating

staying up late in lieu of lying down
learning how to trace the tip of your tongue
with the pale expanse of my temples
coming together in undulating understanding
knowing that this only leads to a cliff
but i wouldn’t have it any other way

nerves negating anything more than skin
only seizing and erupting in empty euphoria
creating concrete connections that are brittle
cracking until it bleeds, as cold as i like it
pressing hard until the moisture rushes in
but we’re only swapping sympathies
