saturated

arms length away
always quick to escape my grasp
and easily shut down
switched flipped to the other state of mind
leaving the one fraught with emotions behind

index finger lined with layers of words
from touched lips and moments missed
never felt a .... quite like this
erased, displaced, exiled and dismissed

thoughts run the length of the stream
leaking from porous holes within a faulty canoe
pierced by the saturated tension building
between me and undeniably you

sinking slowly into waves that silence the cries
on a dusty shore
i'll be sure to place you where i found you,
weren't you happier there before?
