Falling Down the Well

Falling down the well

Leaving

Grasping at the stones along the side

You were the stone

Crushing me when I hit bottom

You're here in my heart

But you've got no voice

Tell me you feel something

Reject me, hurt me, love me, stop me

Falling into the floor and I just keep going

And the river keeps flowing.

Last Summer

Edit

Bikini eyes

Fear and trembling

Openness

You said you trust me.

You said you don't know why.

Camouflage

Contact

Splattered paint

Crouching for cover

You told me to watch your back

Rain dance

Sunset

Chased by dogs

Trespass

And a hand in my hand.

Eyelids lined

Lost in the music

Dancing but we never

Stopped talking

You said you were good at hugs

Fun.

You open a wide freckled

Smile and

I don't know if I've ever

Felt like this.

Scattered wheat

Yellow jackets

Fresh breeze

Stiff climb

You told me you were scared

The aching almost

Walking circles over waters

The angst of not being honest with ourselves

You were leaving

We controlled ourselves

In love

But letting go

Because of love.
