without peeling lips
keeping teeth
like secrets
tucked behind
the skin of mouth
there were too many things
you never sought to understand
the eggshell words
I tucked beneath your sheets
a single strand of hair
left on your pillow case
just so the room
would never forget
the silence
we rubbed
thick between
fingertips
I was yours
even
when I wasn’t
wept openly in your arms
laughed myself to tears
spilled words
like marbles
gave
so much
i forgot where i
began
and you ended
and you pressed lips
grimace and smile
the same
not a trace of me
on those limbs
of yours
only bones
and secrets
and your
god awful
skin
