say something
make it be the truth

not even touching and your heartbeat
crawls down your arms across the bedsheets
shocks me

we are static cling

hold my face in your big hands
hold it tight while putting my hand on
your chest then say it beats for you
for you for you it is pounding

let this be the truth

i am a whirlpool
where everyone wants to swim
but no one wants to drown in

could we maybe
sink together
then pop up on some shore
intertwined on the ground in a place
where our names are unknown

the chemicals are hours long gone
my body is still racing
palms slick

for you for you

you only
shock me
