For years I fought, thinking my
Entanglement was imposed onto me
By some outward source
The willingness of lost control
Amongst our heady fights and caresses
I was happy to bite and whirl, limbs splayed
Then return to my normal cage of constraints
Away to build again, what we knocked down
I wanted to strip and leave myself tacked
On your walls, some consciousness left to view
Your dalliances without my heart intact
In my room, above the twin bed, by the window
The imprint you left was soft, but some nights
It glowed with defeat and fatigue
We were cutting ourselves
Like wild animals, sparing and lusting,
Ripping shreds in ourselves, self-defeating youth
Still, when we were poured out and exhausted
I felt the emptiness swell with you
A calling across this void
After unclenching my fists
I found your hand still, in mine
