this body's not a body | poem

Forgets it sheds,
Dreading its own
Petals.

Lives like vapor
Lost in exhales.
Splits satin lips and
Wire wrapped skin,
Smudged with spit.

Crystallizing throat when hugging another.

It's weird, because even when I feel like I won't care when it ends, I always do, especially when they leave, or when I leave. Not to mention, I haven't been feeling quite myself lately. All the same, I'm mostly pretty content and excited for the holiday season! It's just the gap in between where I miss my long distance friends and family.
