On both sides of the body
By Starshine
Like the pain when something hard strikes the skin and the coldness at
night
Mostly it burns more in my dry throat than the liguid from the dark green
bottles
Like walking on too hot sand and the sharp slide against the neck
Like the mornings when the sun is hell and the daylight is death
And loneliness is on both sides of the body
Like the joker in the game and the only safe card
and the duration of the soul and the only thing that last forever
Like the blockage in the drain and the drip from the ceiling
When loneliness is on both sides of the body

nice title and unique vision, loved the imagery, a lot of similes.... but the repetition of the title line was potent, nice concept/turn of perspective. Welcome to the valley
