You scream words <br />Of deadly affection, <br />Dipped into sweet <br />Whispers and hot flashes <br />Across my abdomen. <br /> <br />This is a bitter justice, <br />I like this state of pain <br />But I want more than <br />What you’ve beaten into <br />The rest of your herd. <br /> <br />I feel the ghosting <br />Of your heart against mine. <br />But before I see your lips, <br />You’ve turned away <br />To stare at the ones, <br /> <br />I could never be.<br /><br />Stefanie Fontker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sweet-talker-2/
