Allow me to drape my limbs over you; my secret murmurs soothing fears that keep you awake as the rays of the day fade on borrowed rest.

 

Grasping your hand to keep you from losing your way back to me, you meet my eyes with a rush of desire that slams me in a hard, brilliant flash.

 

Do you hear me? I whisper along your skin, cooled by the night air. Crossing this wide river to you, I pray you’ll reach for me as I pass by drowning in your depths.

 

You, my only salvation.

 

Will you save me?

 

Waiting for the sun, I barely breathe in order not to wake you, unable to turn away from the glare of what we’ve wrought.

 

I bathe in our entangled gleam, where love lives inside the knowledge that tomorrow fades again.

 

Illumination only lasts til darkness decides to fall.

 

I hope you’ve enjoyed this sneaky peeky of Broken Pieces, due for November release. If you want a few more looks, check out previous posts like: China Doll, Bird, or Rebound Guy. I look forward to your feedback below!
