Still

By christy

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Fate is a moody bitch, giving you to me , taking you, giving you, taking you. You are always within me rising and burning like tears that never surface. Funny how everything has turned bittersweet while our dreams are still lukewarm. Your heart, black as a murder of crows, thumps in my stomach wanting to know more than I am allowed to give, but will anyway to your mind, your eyes, your hands, whatever reaches for me, surrendering to that which stirs me, haunts me, promised me tomorrow.
