It’s all been reduced to an aching in my chest and a pounding in my head. When poets make the ordinary, beautiful, and the beautiful, ordinary, where does that leave us?

You hated to read, but you loved books. It was an odd contradiction considering you, yourself, were a story whose spine had yet to be broken by hands eager to unravel your controversies and let your un-tuned instruments flood the gates of their minds with beautiful, clashing, oblivion. You told me you got headaches when it rained as we sat watching thunder clouds on the nights when lightning...

As we laid in bed together, my head on your chest, you stuttered your breathing to bob me up and down. “You’re an extension of my heart,” you laughed. I rolled over and kissed the rib that hid your real heart from my touch, as your hands knotted themselves in my hair. One by one you placed your fingertips to mine, “Isn’t it interesting,” you began, “how no one’s fingerprints are the same.” I...

It was like you could see right through me, as though you really knew me. I’m sorry for rhyming, but I loved you for that. I loved the way you walked when you knew no one was watching, swinging your arms and bouncing your step like a little boy just let loose of the weight of the world. And the way your eyelashes would quiver as you tried to be strong was tragic, because you always held me up...

We don’t ever make love, but we made love with our words and touches. The love set sparks in the air, and you told me your blood ran hot with passion. You wondered aloud if that ever happened to me, and I blushed as I told you it did. “You’re perfect,” you whispered, and kissed my lips before I could disagree. Each individual vertebrae shivered at the touch of your lips as you leaned in and...

Your coffee and my tea sat beneath the window after you left for work and the steam fogged up the glass. I thought of smearing it to watch you walk to your car, but it would have been such a shame to wreck such a delicate thing. “Be careful,” I said later that night, “this moment is fragile.” And so you held my body in your hands as though you were walking on thin ice, and you kissed me like I...

I miss fingers. The touches of tips, the in between parts. I miss the way your laughter felt to touch, the way I could feel your soul beating through your ribs. I feel as though I could soak it all up through my hands. I could learn to love without words, without sound. I could learn to love quietly, desperately. My hands can touch the places that words leave empty. My fingers could be my eyes...

Baby’s coming home tonight:)
seaschel replied to your post: He’s gone and I’m sitting in bed listening to…
Long distance?the absolute hardest thing I’ve ever done. It really takes a toll on the relationship and your mind, unfortunately.
The worst part is that it’s not so bad now, only a week, but it’s making me think of the year we’ll spend apart, later

Always this familiar aching. I ate too much and feel too empty without the warmth of your arm on mine. I love to trace your spine as you lay your head in my lap, pull your shirt up and count your freckles and vertebrae in sequence. Your skin always scorches my cold fingers as I dance across your exposed ribcage. I remember when you kissed each of my finger tips before kissing the forth finger on...

I guess it’s just because I can feel the days slip like an ache in my chest, or a cold that sets in down my spine. Like the chill that drips down your throat after breathing in the winter air. And it kills me that this pain can sound so poetic and full, when the reality of it all is that this is the most ugly, empty thing I have ever known.

So when you look at me with questions in your eyes, what else am I to say but “Nothing”? How can you describe the love you feel in your past self, the happiness of your present self, and the bitter longing of your future self all wrapped up into one? How can you explain the definite finality of an all-consuming love that renders you speechless in a seemingly insignificant moment? I’ve yet to...
