Limerence
i. infatuation
silver rings on masculine,
slender fingers ~
expertly rolled blunts
between index and middle;
sweatpants, the nice material;
you know what you’re doing,
and you know
how I’m going to respond;
you’re counting on it
ii. crystallization
guttural groanings, soft sighs
follow me home, in the shadows,
long after you’ve kissed my cheek
and pointed me toward the door ~
sometimes shutting it mid-goodbye;
still, my desire burns, unchecked
for who I wish you’d been just now
iii. Deterioration
I can’t remember your name,
or the way you smiled, if I ever
even saw you happy, but
your voice will haunt me forever
I guess that’s something

Holy fuckshit, that was GOORGEEOUUUS.
The way it licked my eyeballs. The way it trickled it's fingers down my spine.
The way it loomed threatening over it all was delish. I loved the decay and the way you pulled out the internal focus, the monologue of the narrator, from obsession, to a memory. Really cool presentation.

Dear L,
Well light my fire! What a sublime sizzler. There’s a balance to me, between hot obsession at the beginning to laissez faire by the end with the forgotten name. Fab writing. H🌷
