+Intimate+

One foot in front of the other,
the world melting behind me.
What mattered most,
what was that again?

I wasn't about to let anyone
tell me right from wrong.
I can tell that for myself,
thank you.

Animals or not, I was
going to live.
Nothing more, nothing less.

One touch was all I needed.
The stars started spinning,
and the dusk and dawn intertwined,
Everything was now
one beautiful conjumbled heap.

I don't care what the others say,
this is a matter of removing one's own mask,
and seeing who they really are.
The one true escape.

It wasn't about the drunk smiles,
or what could've been,
it was about us,
and only us.

All that mattered was you and me.
Broken masks and mirrors,
shards of glass roses
and what we were supposed to maintain.

It was about breaking down,
and reconstructing the basic words,
and leaving the deeper meaning for
tomorrow- a day we might not have.

Multicolored smoke,
it feels like we're one instead of two.
Tumbling around,
I think that our faces could just as well be masks.

I'm dissolving in your arms,
as are you in mine,
Something even closer than the human touch,
is that what this is?

Laughing and crying,
we're somehow sudden soulmates.
We only met tonight,
yet you've known me my entire life.

My own life and yours,
intertwined like the dusk and dawn.
There IS something more.
I feel it.

I don't know what this is,
love? lust?
How am I supposed to distinguish something
that was called one in the same?

But I know one thing,
There's no going back to who we used to be.
