Like a pile of bricks
pretending to be feathers,
we pretended to be lovers,
we sank deep and trembled.
If your body hits and breaks
every time you touch me,
let it break for me
and not at me.
Crashing into anything,
crushing bones and destiny,
let my love die silently,
please don’t scream at me.
And if the numbness bends the heart
to a certain kind of anger
let it bend forever blessed
please don’t leave just yet.
