As you speak,
your words are traced on my skin.
No one speaks quite like you.
No one quite understands that
by now, I am just bones held together
by the vestiges of you.
I can't finish you,
I can't get enough of you.
I've tried.
I've never really tried.
It was always sandpaper on skin with you.
I knew I was rough around the edges but
I'd hoped you liked me that way.
I got lost in you—in your darker corners.
Lit a fire and kept myself warm in secrets
you'd only speak of in the middle of the night
in self-conscious whispers.
But those nights were never enough.
They never really filled.
You never really filled but you were
never really full—only half a man at most.
I could've taken your half and loved it with mine
but I was both too much and not enough.

I have only really been trying to access it on the computers at work that have an older version of Explorer on, but there surely can't have been no posts on this forum this year?! (it's only showing most recent posts as being from 2015 for me)
