You broke my heart
when syllables stopped
spilling from your lips
curled and plump
sounds which caressed
tightened
tendrils romantic
around my arms
ankles and throat
squeezing
constricted airways
my chest throbbing
furiously in the heat
hunger
between our fingers
and thumbs.
You broke my heart
when promise of a touch
became nothing
mutters
on the wind
sparks in a vacuum
fire
on the ocean floor
distance ripped
love asunder
insatiable hunger
sated
by another.
