I am
empty like a well
once spilling over
in abundance
holding out my hands
expecting another chance
to embrace you.
I see
the dark and
empty night
stretching out before me
invoking promises that you might
return.
I can
feel your touch
even as you recoil from me
producing an electricity
designed to push away
what only draws me closer.
I won't
look into your eyes
and acknowledge the pain
you've brought with you
tonight while
the moon shines overhead
and we deserve to taste elation.
I drink
of your being
allowing your essence
to seep through my pores
competing only for space
with tears of my own
on an affection danger zone.
