unless.



Unless

unless
your response comes
with two lips pressed
against mine
and a side of fingers
intertwined i
don't wanna hear it

unless
you can guess
the pain that wracks me
when your gaze
just
passes me
and your thoughts
are spent
on your media update
i
will fill in
blanks
so that every shot
in the dark
leaves
yet another mark
on that one place
your x
has been missing.

and unless
you can hold
this heart
as it beats
and bleeds
and runs rivers
of love and heat
to your dark cove
i
will give it
a damn,
and sell all my power
to die in sparks
in the name
of love.
