can’t I go back
to how it was?
but was it really any better
I don’t remember
time before
I don’t remember
ever being happy

How well did you sleep last night?
Did the vagrant tears you collect
Fill up the chasm to the brim
Or did you stay up to their noise
The way they drip drip drip
Like Chinese water torture
Did you convince yourself
That your own heartache warranted
The sweet sounds the breaking hearts made
When you dropped them - glass meet floor
Or did you stay up till morn
Burning your thoughts for warmth
While they burned you back
With sceptres of missed chances
Slinking around like shadows
Close enough to graze the fingertips
But too far to grasp
Or did you slumber dreamless
In the embrace of the day’s sweat
The guilt, the anxiety and dread
Waiting like the feathered pillows
To wake you up and whisper “Morning”
So, my darling dearest,
How well did you sleep last night?
She’s thunderstorms
And summer days
With her milky thighs
And wanton ways…
©️wantonwhispers
I want to read you
Through my fingertips
And memorise
Every word that you are… ©️wantonwhispers
They adored hotel rooms
And secret meetings
With whispered desires
And the smell of leather
Her skin warm and pink
From the firmness of his hand
And the wetness of their affair
On those crisp white sheeets…
©️wantonwhispers
Come…
With me
To a place
We are yet
To know exists
But if
We believe
Then
It surely must… ©️wantonwhispers
Tear the world
From my bones
Free my mind
Strip me bare.
©️wantonwhispers
I am woman…
Built from the ashes
Of shattered dreams
Flying on the winds
Of beautiful new beginnings.
