Reckless Dive
I want to be emotionally-disconnected.
So I won't feel the wires peeling from your skin.
Your wet eyes looked through me,
As if you knew everything I was thinking.
Inside, I was running.
I'm always lifting you to make the fall hurt more.
My lashes, your lips.
My plan, your naive trust.
Your tall stance never scared me.
Must've played my cards right,
Crayon trails you followed every night.
The rise and fall of your bare chest,
Steady and relaxed.
I saw the paper lamp lights reflecting
moonlight in your eyes.
Glistening dragonflies.
Now I comprehend.
All those lies.
