Struck again

You fool

These pins and needles and constant wish for closeness

Intimacy you slave master

You paw against my soul

Sold on the promise again

Of just not this alone

Of just not this quiet

Breath of another

Warmth of another

Must destroy these longings

Must silence it all

Bury it deep

With the confusion from a decade ago

Bury it deep and remember the cost your sister paid
