Don't Want to Hide in Front of You

 
Of all the broken people
in this very broken world
we collided somehow

an unexpected place
at just the right/wrong time

pick a perspective
we could argue both

But there was a crash
that left us both dazed
navigating a new landscape
with a new ability to see
to be seen
in a raw, fundamental way

holding on through the fear
tending subsequent injury
we breathed in each other
knowing the old world
could never understand
the one we created
population: 2

Until the meteor strikes
and alien invasions
inevitable in movies like ours

I miss you sometimes
when you're right there
hiding in plain sight

and all I want...

all I want...

all I want...

is to touch you
in bleeding moments of intimacy
dripping through our fingers
untamed
escaping
