letting the chips fall.

The moment you first kissed me a piece of your soul chipped off against my lips.

Nothing to do but hold it precious until you asked for it back. Every brush

your lips made over my body secretly loved it.  

The pain you caused crawled over the

couch, wrapping fingers in my curls,

sliding its knee between my thighs.

I yearned for that dig and stab

like dry ice embedded

becoming my mosaic stained glass

withering windows of a burned church.

Crush me with your erratic edge

I flow over you like water,

calming the heat before

it eats you dead.

Play with snowy keys

watching the flames

dance behind your eyes.

Who we wanted

the other

to be never

matched up.

I needed to

become.

You wanted

to

cease.
