Ears To See And Eyes To Hear
She speaks
her mouth open enough
just to see her sharp
opal teeth.
she takes my hand
ever so gently
her touch is warm
and leaves me
with butterfly's
her body
so close to mine
my heartbeat fluttering
gives me a small shiver
running down my back
her eyes lay heavily on me
switching eye to eye
eyebrows wrinkling
from confusion
and disorientation
i open my mouth
to speak
but my body
disobeys my mind
i want to reach out to her
to hold and caress her
and to tell her everything
will be alright
but she knows better
my vision blurs as she
screams for help
i barely noticed
the driver, who came
out of the car
her beauty was so immense
it frightened me
she was crying
leaking salt onto my
road burned skin
mixed into the asphalt
her body curled over mine
crying
weeping
moaning.
it was either me or her
i saw it, and pushed her
out of the way
just in time.
i never wanted her
to be sad
hell, i wanted to
make her the
happiest girl in
the world
the ambulance
push her out of the way
she screams my name
delicate hands
smeared with my blood
reaching out to me
i take one
raspy breath
reach out and
grasp her hand
for the last time.
i scream out in
pain,
but she screams
louder
her eyes are painful
to look at.
she shakes herself
off of the paramedics
runs to me
her tears staining my face
as she pulls me closer
her breath smells of
winter and spearmint
she whispers
i cant afford to loose you.
And then it went dark
i became oblivious to
sight and hearing
stuck in my head
for what seemed like an
eternity
her mouth open enough
just to see her sharp
opal teeth.
she takes my hand
ever so gently
her touch is warm
and leaves me
with butterfly's
her body
so close to mine
my heartbeat fluttering
gives me a small shiver
running down my back
her eyes lay heavily on me
switching eye to eye
eyebrows wrinkling
