Syllables

I liked it more
When we were kissing
And I was crying.
My drippy faucet eyes
Leaking wet secrets
About your suction-cup-lips
And bittersweet vowels.
But now she is tracing your syllables with hers
And I'm left longing
Left craving something
Anything
To turn those faucets back on
Because I like it more
When I'm kissing
And crying.
