"you're gorgeous,"
he'd say
his eyes hypnotized
by the body
above him

it was
total
passion
addiction
obsession

the way we
held each other
in our hands;
the desperate searching
of our mouths

and i
could hear every
limb of mine
singing
screaming
in harmony with him,
the beautiful consonance
of our bodies

he was saying my name
as though it was a spell
that could cast away
his past

but when he realized
i could not fix him
suddenly,
i became nothing
