sober thoughts

"I'd rather go blind than see you walk away from me"

-Etta James

Put me back on your wishlist.
Let's start working on a first second kiss.
I'm yearning for those arms.
That hold the right fit.
Feigning for that connection.
No other love permits.

These erratic behaviours.
Plague my mind.
I won't sleep through this.
But if we must.
Give me a resolution to finish with.

Don't rely on words we've played.
They wound the worse.
In the most familar ways.
Caressed expressions only cause regress.
Silent acceptance resounds.
I'll turn away blind.
