Then There's You...
I had a lover,
His grip was
Fierce.
I am detached,
Think nothing of it.
Night comes,
He can feel me leaving,
I feel him constrict.
Boa legs and arms.
Self preservation pushes, squirms,
Marionettes my limbs.
"I am not yours.
YOU ARE SUFFOCATING ME."
Then there's you...
A touch so light,
Like you're not even there.
And I want.
His grip was
Fierce.
I am detached,
Think nothing of it.
Night comes,
He can feel me leaving,
I feel him constrict.
Boa legs and arms.
Self preservation pushes, squirms,
Marionettes my limbs.
"I am not yours.
YOU ARE SUFFOCATING ME."
Then there's you...
A touch so light,
Like you're not even there.
And I want.

I think we all at some point get into restrictive situations. The lighter touch is a much gentler way to go. Solid write!

It's a funny thing sometimes. Depending on how I really feel about a person sometimes being crushed is enjoyable. Not this time!

The grip that crushes, or a gentle touch? Ideally, somewhere in between. Fine work Lookie!

I can feel the constraint in this vivid piece. Your work is packed with emotion. Brave!
