I wish you were here.

Like a fly on my wall

Watching me,

Stalking me,

With your nine hundred and ninety-nine

Eyes.  I could come talk to

You. Sit with you. Breathe

With you.

I want you to see the things inside me

Fluttering, gasping to get

Out. The things I hide from

The world.

Truth bleeds out of my mouth

Drop

By drop,

As if surrendering to you.

You consume me. Twisting

Me in knots from the inside out

Intoxicating me.

I lay here

With nothing but my thoughts

Naked on the floor.
