what else can I do
but stare at u
til my eyes ache
& my heart weeps
for everything u
just
won't
say
spread eagle
in the brush
whispering
to
the stars
never
have I met
a creature
so unattainable
to himself
solitude is where u hide
peeking out
from behind the blinds
coaxing u out
w/ honeyed lips
& sweet fingers
luring u in
w/ candied songs
& sugared dreams
i stand naked before u
does my lite
distress u
impress u
molest u
i attest to
wanting to
make it all better for u
but u just
won't let me in
u shield ureself
from my sun
but
how long will u
remain
detained
refrained from sharing
who u really are
a star is no place
for whispers to go
they already know
ure darkness has grown
blossomed into
a garden of grief
watered w/ fear
near misses
empty kisses
groping around
the shadows
for comfort
stumbling over ureslf
scraping ure knees
ignoring the pleas
of the voice inside
who
just
wants
to speak
before the vines
choke them
silent
