From underneath
a shadow peers
mute breaths stolen
in a violet kiss
so violent and sudden
life stops
[for one second]
Arising threads whirl around
our gazes that barely met
in the dimmed light
You reach out and
shock me
with a cold hand
[piercing conciousness harassed this illusion]
Cannot tie words to escape this spell
a spell that wrapped me in his arms
so cold
impersonal
[or dead?!]
Impossible to break off
i still linger on the tip of his fingers
still wishing to be noticed
and not thrown aside
or burned like his last cigarette.....
Were we ever lovers?
Have we ever met?
Would he ever love me?
.....
No.....
[We are just strangers gazing through one another]
