It's like a film real playing your life back to me in made up pictures.
knowing you I know how you'd look. your smiles and shy caresses.
With every real my skin peals at the seems. Your life imagined cutting me deeper than the love you bring.
this journey of ours long and enduring but I never wanted this pain.
protection implemented and failed my heart lay bare on a table.
nail by nail it gets impaled. word after word staking me deeper.
love him.
lust for him.
live with him.
share a bed with him.
it was easy with him.
Now you have me. All you ever wanted and it's crumbling beneath our feet.
Your choice to exist with him marking my skin deeper than a love bite.
we both sit and stare and wonder I'd recovery is possible.
