bittersweet in my ears
Charley Mestrich
skin to skin
tongues on teeth
the divot in your collarbone is filled with sugar
you pull my hair and call me baby
and press halfmoons into my hips
I kiss you in the window where people walking past can see
so the world knows you belong to me
your fingers are the only that have brushed the inside of my thighs
your lips and your tongue the only that have tasted every part of me
you broke me down, down into the ground, but I let you destroy me
because your moans were music to my ears and
your body tasted so sweet
I sucked sugar off your fingers, tended to the cuts your shoulder blades left on my palms
and fucked you the next morning
I can still smell you on my fingers
can still feel you in my lungs, taste you in my mouth
the memory of you whimpering still keeps me up at night
hand between the sheets
fingers teasing across skin, anger bubbling under the surface
my hand still remembers what you wanted, how you liked it
hard and fast
