Your voice resonates
compelling me
to leap into your arms
to wrap my legs around your waist, and grasp your shoulders,
to deeply and thoroughly taste your kiss
When you see me, if you don’t love me, don’t say my name, don’t hold me in your gaze, and don’t come after me
Animal fights in trees and on fences
Sounds like one got away, but it also sounded bloody and wound inflicting
I so wish I could find and help the wounded one(s)
At least I can allow my own heart to heal
I am not afraid
