entwined by Kimberly Barewords fell from your lips
dripping
like blood from the prick of a fingertip
carelessly
you splattered the remnants
across the blank canvas
of me
then called it your masterpiece
your name is waiting on my tongue
thick with emotion
the taste of you lingers
salty
like the tears flowing as i caress
a faceless pillow
crushing soft petals of the flowers
you never gave me
still i lay, hopelessly entwined,
in your nonexistent embrace
