. . feigning . .

By NikesRain

 




devistating

this waiting

minutes crawling

clawing with hands

shaped from shadows

glancing caressses

brushing yesterday

hovering over

a heart

devouring thoughts

infecting dreams

to where there's nothing

but you and that touch

that invisible grasp

that tints each gasp

that consumes every nerve

tied in intrinsic knots

not meant for breaking

bound and held 

caged in promises

with a key bent and aching

tears slipping

inside a smile

screaming for release

some ease to the torture

curled and fallen

crushed beneath each breath

everything is fine

nod

smile

and the minutes crawling

    ...this is a familiar deception. the smile's glow attempting to conceal sorrowful eyes. we're aware: maybe that's why we don't look sincerely into another's eyes...
