unfinished

By openureyes

so you've come at this semi perfect time
with my slightly flawed approach to love
i accidentally give my pieced together heart
to you in the hopes you might know what to do with it.
I fall
all to suddenly
shockingly and unwillingly
i get lost in the moment and am completely moved by your existence
i find my self mindlessly scribbling some words and calling it poetry
just a bit too often
i fail to remember the world is still spinning
i forget to breathe and time becomes some kind of word i used to know the meaning
you look through me and i crumble
but when you go
i am left with the familiar emptiness
the expected worry
the negative prophecies
the fears and insecurities that come from giving myself to another
i may never get the chance to enjoy the Ecstasy of this new romance
i may shut down before it begins
you may let me down and leave me disappointed
i may only be left with these memories and the hours of teeth clenching sex
soooo...

ah yes... before time.. my favorite. ..where dark energy and dark matter mesh in infinite gravity.

i s'pose i'd be forced to swallow your big bang coming at godspeed
A former member wrote: you're so scientific... lemme warp your universe and fondle your worm holes until your singularity reverses its gravitational polarity.
A former member wrote: yeah, I'm thinkin' teeth clenching is so not good in this context... I've never really experienced bad sex, ya know.... I'm a guy. What can I say?

exactly
A former member wrote: egads. . .. this is a little too close. its overwhelming honesty.....of falling and surrendering, even when we know we might not should. .. . .love goes against any protective barriers ive ever built; and when face to face with that truth of real love....and what it could/should be...i cling..desperate..this felt like that clinging.....to every little nuance. gritted truth here. open. admire that.
A former member wrote: mmmm... well, hours of teeth clenching sex is something to be left with ;) Perhaps romance is a fix unto itself--sometimes... when it doesn't break more than it mends. Best of luck!
A former member wrote: ummmm.... teeth clenching is good, right?

grrr...

A former member wrote: I mean, it could be intense-- or it could be "oh god not this again... are you done yet?" which would be bad. best wishes for the former!

sooooo? wonderful write. i love how, at least in our poetry, we aren't in denial about our broken pieces. the fact that we probably aren't ready for romance until we can fix ourselves yet don't care. very captivating. i want more!!!
A former member wrote: Wow. Nixx pretty much said what I was going to say... almost to the letter... spooky. For a moment your words ruled my world and made me apprehensive and excited, terrified and enraptured... all at the same time. Thank you!
