words on wanting after the fact
I want to touch you. I want to touch every stupid part of you I never had the guts to feel when I had you.
I want to make up for all the times I could have felt your heart pulsing beneath the palm, but hesitated.
I want to snake my hands up your shirt and touch everything that always made you so ashamed.
I want to make you feel good, like you made me feel. I want to trace it in your skin.
I want to leave enough bruises to take your blood away.
I want to sink my teeth into you and give you another jagged scar to hide,
I want to tear you open and make you feel every violent thing you made me feel.
I want to be able to feel without shoving deep in me and letting it fester.
I want to be enough for your gluttony.
I want want want want want, oh- how I crumble with it, but most of all:
I want to feel whole without you.
