this limerance, pulsating.
it's probably 5 am
or 3 in the afternoon

out there
where you are,

and the silence
creeps in

masking the aroma
of the loud mechanical
throb of the city

the taste of
metal, blood,
neglect, euphoria
and melancholy

and out of nowhere
you felt yourself
unfold a little


crumple the edge
of your control
just a little

and you're clutching
a photo
of us

in the drawer
of your mind

and this bubble
of familiar pain

and longing
surfaces inside you
there, right there—

I'm with you.
