Shut up I lied
When I told you
How we could merge seamlessly
And then seperate
Without holes or stray threads
Betraying emotion.

It would mean something
If I could watch your back arch against my hand
It would mean something
If I could taste your salty lips with my tongue
It would mean something
to me
And because I lied
I might get to sew us together
But I'll be the one
Nursing my wounds
When you pull the stitches
Apart.

Beautiful metaphor.
I've been deprived of your poetry lately
(not to mention you.)
