neck deep
i am neck deep in you
and not lightly but
i am stuck almost like a red traffic light that refuses to change colors
green, i am not because i'm stuck underground forcing my way through the
mazes of roots that come from every direction and i am still
not moving because i know what’s going to happen next
i’m no psychic but the feeling in my gut tells me not to make a sound
i’m not ready for what's coming i just know i’m neck deep in you
so close my own breath coming back to me as it hits your collarbone suffocates me with anxiety
that is there, i can feel it
and you acknowledge it
the fact that you know
you know what you’re doing as you tighten your grip on my face making me
fear you, but i can’t move because i am neck deep in you
and i'm still trying to cleanse myself after you threw me into the filthy wall
i know you’ve done that before with others, the dents are there and just like me
i’m just another addition to the sculpture that you are creating with broken pieces of women
who are stuck here pushing their way through the shadow that your broad shoulders cast
it was after i left i realized i should've gotten tattoo’s over the bruises you left me to help me disguise your twisted idea of love but i can’t stop thinking about what would’ve happened if i’d just stayed
who would i’ve become if i would've stayed
