i am afraid you feel how i feel, i am plucking every rose petal off it's bud in an attempt to unravel our love, throwing away bounties of beauty to wedge your being inside of me.
i am afraid you feel this gap between us like oceans - empty gaping holes of loveless whispers; you keep repeating that you love me because you want this to stay. i know i can't be the only one who feels the numbness where our hearts once touched. no, this can't be it. i won't let this slip between my fingertips.
