Its been a while

Feelings strip themselves bare

contorting in to new combinations

Fighting for the right to manifest  

Knots upon knots 

Frayed edges 

Tangled ends 

A noose of confusion 

The heart can't see 

The head can't think 

The body can't feel 

The soul can't sense 

The mind does not dare to wander 

A mire of discombobulation 

A clay masterpiece reworked 

Gouged out   

Pushed down 

Flattened 

Reshaped 

Vacuous holes

sucking at your burrowed finger tips

Your finger prints are all over me

 

Its been a while since

I washed them off 

 

When was your approval 

Ever something I needed?

 

Turns out always

and the title plays across my mind 

Since I saw you
