Remembering the Rest (Interlude) - Skyzoo, WordsNCurves

The way his lips parted to sound my name

Felt like song and dance

He was a musical without the accolades

I hung on every note

We performed together nightly

Starting with interludes on my jawline

He left pitches in the pit of my throat

Never did he choke on the words «I love you»

He said it with his fingertips on my piano keys of a back

He had a stroke not out of tune

He knew the lyrics to the song before they were written

Our set was in production

We could see our nomination for the «greatest love story ever performed»

Strum these pains with your fingers

Let it hurt a little

I want to be in sync and sink in all that you are in all that I am

I don’t want amnesty

Jailbird me

Bar me inside your rib cage

So I can rest and lie where all your secrets and desires do

To study you

Lively… nothing can make you feel more awake and dreaming than when our skin

fills one another with each other’s essence

We breathe

You are a hallucinogen and I have on a gas mask

Inhale you until I can taste you like I haven’t eaten all day

You satisfy a physiological need

I thought I was complete

I didn’t realize how half I was until I found you

See you make me write love poems for days

Sex poems at night

Hate poems in the morning

Laughter in the afternoon

And It isn’t that we love

It’s how we love

Little time to the human clock, but we make seconds tick like hours

Condemn me to a lifetime of our musical

So, we can sing and dance when your lips part and sound my name

I can’t remember the rest…
