Bloody Knuckles

Your eyes. Are calling out to me. To kiss. The lips that push me back. It seems so long ago that you put your hand in mine. Like conduit. Though I know I could walk forever with you by my side. You're still too far.
First you turn me upside down. Then you turn me inside out. Just to break me into. A million pieces. But you still make me feel. Like I never lived before. And without you. I don't feel whole anymore.
The body is just a slave to the mind. And the heart. I'd follow you to the end of the earth. Just to be there if you reach out. You're still pumping through my veins. But I can't taste you yet. I'm sorry I can't be. Everything you need. I'm sorry I fall so far short.
