you're looking at me wide-eyed and i can see the burning in your eyes while your hands are forcing their way into me, finding places inside me, and i scream.
then i'm waking up with you in places inside me and you lie still asleep. your face, your lips, your hair tangles with my own and i roll my head to face the ceiling watching the clouds shift from beyond the window into the room.
and before i realise it, you're putting on your clothes and stepping out into today.
and like yesterdays, i'm always left behind.
