resting against unfamiliar skin
my thoughts exhale reluctance
i am unable to surrender to movement
for definition of my own consequence
your breath continues to draw me
shadow me
highlight me
nearer
under your skin
in your thoughts
i never wanted
to efface anything
everything blurs
in this growing sadness
eyes fixed
i cannot break this gaze
to release emptiness
unyielding desire abides
hindering any effortless attempts
